Esha Maiwalle Foundation Promotes Menstrual Dignity for Girls in Northern Nigeria

Dated: July 22, 2025

In Misau, Bauchi State, the Esha Maiwalle Foundation has launched a transformative menstrual hygiene initiative, bringing essential sanitary pads to hundreds of schoolgirls and women in underserved communities. This effort addresses a critical gap in menstrual health access, restoring dignity and enabling girls to attend school during their periods—something many have long been deprived of due to period poverty.

The large-scale distribution campaign is aimed at combating a widespread issue in rural Nigeria, where millions of girls miss school every year due to lack of access to menstrual products. The initiative focuses on empowering girls to stay in school, boosting their confidence, and breaking the silence around menstruation, which remains a stigmatized topic in many communities.

In tackling this challenge, the Esha Maiwalle Foundation aligns its work with global development efforts, particularly the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being and SDG 5: Gender Equality). By prioritizing menstrual health, the Foundation is contributing to long-term solutions that support inclusive education, health, and gender equity.

The program in Misau included educational sessions on menstrual hygiene led by trained health professionals. These sessions engaged not just the girls, but also their mothers, teachers, and community leaders, helping to dismantle cultural taboos and normalize discussions about menstruation.

Following its success in Misau, the Foundation plans to expand the initiative to other parts of Bauchi State and surrounding regions. Collaborations with schools and NGOs are already being explored to ensure the sustainability and broader impact of the program. Through its community-led approach, the Esha Maiwalle Foundation is not only meeting urgent needs but also laying the groundwork for lasting societal change.
