Menstrual Hygiene Programme (MHP)

If girls and women are to live healthy and productive lives, with dignity, menstrual hygiene is a priority. In many areas, there is complete neglect of menstrual hygiene due to low awareness levels and lack of access to sanitary products. This programme for the promotion of Menstrual Hygiene combines health education for adolescent girls, providing a regular supply of sanitary napkins, and enabling other sanitation measures such as access to water and toilets in schools and in the community through convergence with other programmes.
