Before the First Period
A girlโs first period shouldnโt be something she fearsโit should be something she understands.
Yet for many girls, it arrives without anyone having talked to them about what to expect.
Thatโs why, through the Digni-Period Project, Digni pads is working in secondary schools and local communities across South Sudan to provide puberty and menstrual health education. By creating safe spaces for honest conversations, weโre helping girls understand their bodies, build confidence, and navigate this stage of life with dignity.
Weโre proud to be doing this with the support of Global Changemakers, because every girl deserves to face her first period feeling informed, prepared, and empowered.
