HFFG@20: Pads For Girls Everywhere.

Hope For Future Generations to mark 20 years with Focus on Menstrual Hygiene.

In Ghana, girls living with disabilities during menstruation face various barriers including; inadequate Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) infrastructure, stigma, insufficient education or information  on menstrual hygiene and limited access to hygienic menstrual products.

For the past 19 years, Hope for Future Generations has being prioritizing the inclusiveness of Young Persons Living with Disability in the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation in all our programmes.

As part of our 20th Anniversary, HFFG is focusing on a Menstrual Hygiene Intervention dubbed ‘Pads for Girls Everywhere’.

The project seeks to promote good menstrual hygiene management for women and girls in Ghana, including those living with disabilities.

Specifically, it will serve as a platform to break the silence and change the negative social norms around menstruation and engage decision-makers and traditional leaders to increase the political priority for Menstrual Health Management at all levels.

HFFG is mobilizinge 3 million pads to support 1 million girls including girls with disabilities in Ghana within 12 months.

The Executive Director of Hope for Future Generations, Mrs Cecilia Senoo was on WOMEN VOICE, a women focused talk-show to discuss Menstrual Hygiene For Girls with Disabilities as well as plans for HFFG’s 20th Anniversary which will be climaxed in the year 2021.
