"Keeping girls in school requires shared responsibility."

Elkheir Foundation is a non-profit organization committed to advancing menstrual health and equity in Nigeria.

We believe menstruation should never interrupt a girl’s education. Yet for many girls, it still does.

Our approach combines education, access to menstrual products, and engagement with the systems that shape girls’ school experiences.

23% of school-going girls in Nigeria miss school due to menstruation-related issues

Our work is rooted in Kaduna State, where we partner with public secondary schools serving girls from low-income communities. By working within schools, we ensure that menstrual health education and product access reach girls
