Your donation helps provide reusable sanitary kits, menstrual health education, and livelihood support for women and girls across Sierra Leone.
And this is why we are introducing the Academy Care School Pad Bank Initiative. It ensures that every school has a supply of washable and reusable pads so that when a girl starts her period unexpectedly, she does not go home.
She stays. She learns. She rises.

2026/27
Academic year we begin
For the 2026/2027 academic year, we are starting in Bombali District. But we will not stop there. We plan to expand to other districts, until every girl in Sierra Leone has a pad.
Every girl deserves to stay in school. Every girl deserves dignity. Every girl deserves to know that her period does not erase her future.
Your Support Makes a Difference
With a donation of SLE 500 (approximately USD $20), you can provide one girl with a complete Academy Care Menstrual Health Kit, including:
This support goes beyond providing menstrual products. It equips a girl with the tools, knowledge, confidence, and encouragement she needs to remain in school and achieve her dreams.
With your donation, you are not just buying a pad.
Together, we can ensure that no girl's education is interrupted simply because she has her period.
