Educate the girl child!

If you're looking for a great reusable period product option, perhaps you could give period underwear a try. 😀

Happy Wednesday! Studies suggest that 1 out of every 4 girls start their period before knowing about it. This brings about feelings of shame and confusion. It is therefore important that all girls are educated about menstruation and assured that it is a normal body process.

Every child, whether boy or girl deserves an education. 👩🏽‍🎓🧑🏽‍🎓

Providing girls with menstrual products is more than just a donation—it's a ticket to uninterrupted education.📚 Witness the impact of your support through stories like this one💜.

What are your thoughts on menstrual leave?

Every child deserves food, water and a good place to sleep. These essentials enhance their overall well-being which in turn boosts their academic performance. 📍Mishulundu Combined School. Western Province #promotingeducation #flashbackfriday #basizana #bupilofoundation

🎉 Today, we celebrate the spirit of unity, freedom, and the vibrant culture that makes our nation so special. Let's honor our past, embrace our present, and look forward to a brighter future! #independenceday #proudlyzambian

These photos highlight the daily struggle for girls at Nambo Basic School in Mkushi, where clean water and proper sanitation are scarce. Basizana still remains dedicated to providing safe and hygienic environments for all girls. Join us as we seek to create a brighter future.

Today we celebrate the International Day of the Girl Child. As they say 'when you empower a girl, you transform the world.' 💪🏽🙎🏽‍♀️🌍 Let's celebrate the potential, dreams, and limitless possibilities of girls everywhere. Happy International Day of the Girl!

Yesterday, we joined the rest of the world in celebrating Teacher's Day💃. As an organization dedicated to empowering girls through education, we truly appreciate  teachers, without whose tireless dedication, our mission would not be possible.✨

@MukwandiChibesa remains a remarkable source of inspiration not only to us, but also countless other Zambian girls and women who hope to one day be pioneers. We wish her our heartfelt congratulations on this achievement.👏 @MC_ZanacoCEO #BasizanaWCW #AfricanFemalePioneer

"When you invest in a girl’s education, she feeds herself, her children, her community and her nation." ✨ Happy Friday!

Menarche is an important milestone in a girl’s life. It is therefore imperative that every girl is prepared both physically, and mentally for this inevitable phase.

Some girls use cotton wool, others use rags and still others go as far as using leaves during their period. Providing such girls with reusable menstrual products is a priority for us, because it gives them a chance to freely attend school and improve their lives.

Happy new month! As we get into the very first weekend of the month we would like to leave you with this quote. We can't manage to deal with period poverty alone but together we can accomplish so much more. ❤

Your generosity goes a long way toward improving lives!

Friday Update!

📢 We are thrilled to announce that we have achieved our goal of reducing menstrual absenteeism to 0% at one of our beneficiary schools.💃 Our trip to Sitoya Secondary School last month revealed that all the girls there are now attending school consistently. ✨
