Our Campaign

Period Without Poverty.

In Choma District, thousands of girls miss school every month because they cannot afford sanitary products. Push Girls Foundation is fighting to end period poverty — keeping girls in class, informed, and empowered.

What We Do

Our Six Pillars of Change

Every pillar represents a real barrier faced by women and girls in Choma District. We tackle them all.

Education📚
Education
We visit schools across Choma District, mentor girls, and advocate for those facing exclusion — including girls with albinism and disabilities.
  • School outreach and girl-child mentorship
  • Support for girls with albinism & disabilities
  • Advocacy to eliminate educational barriers
Health🏥

Period poverty keeps thousands of girls out of school. We distribute reusable sanitary pads and run health education to keep girls safe and in class.
  • Reusable sanitary pad distribution (Vive)
  • Menstrual health and hygiene training
  • Community health sensitisation
Economic Empowerment💼
Economic Empowerment
Financial independence transforms families. We run skills training and income-generation programs so women in Choma can build real economic security.

SRH💜
Sexual & Reproductive Health
We educate girls and women on their bodies, rights, family planning, and staying safe — creating safe spaces for honest conversations and support.
  • SRH awareness and education sessions
  • Safe spaces for questions and referrals
  • Prevention of early pregnancy and GBV

  • Internet safety and digital citizenship
  • Coding and online tools for business
Climate🌱
