Dear Donors,
In only a year, Prevent Period Poverty has already made a difference. Bathrooms were built and menstrual health classes and products provided at St. Joseph’s Musoko and Our Lady of Mercy Secondary Schools. Students in Kenya take national examinations to qualify for acceptance to universities. In 2024 17% of the students at these schools qualified. This went up to 27% in 2025 when the Prevent Period Poverty program began.
Susan, a senior, commented:
“Thanks to Grow Against Poverty for building a bathroom at our school as part of the Prevent Period Poverty program. My attendance has improved, my average has gone up to B+ and I qualified for University. I want to attend to study medicine and then come back to my community to help others.”
Thanks for your support of this valuable program. Grow Against Poverty would like to add one school this year to the program at a cost of $14,000. The hope is to add at least one bathroom a year at other schools for the following 4 years.
Regards,
John Roccanova
