The dusty chalkboard of Kamaria’s classroom seemed to mock her with its unyielding geometry problems. All she could think about was the nagging discomfort, the fear of the inevitable stain, and the overwhelming shame that threatened to consume her. It was day three of her period, and day one of missing school. Again.
Kamaria lived in a small village nestled against the Kenyan highlands. Her mother, a single parent, worked tirelessly on their small farm, but money was always tight. Sanitary pads were a luxury they couldn't always afford. So, Kamaria stayed home, her education slipping through her fingers like sand.
Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away in Nairobi, sixteen-year-old Anya was complaining about algebra. During a volunteer session at a local women’s shelter, she heard a story similar to Kamaria's – stories of girls missing school, falling behind, and sometimes even dropping out due to lack of access to menstrual hygiene products. The stark contrast between her privileged life and the challenges these girls faced hit her hard.
