Charger Limited, a beverage company, has donated GH¢12,000 to SheRise Ghana Foundation to support their menstrual hygiene campaign.
SheRise Ghana Foundation has been working to eradicate period poverty and ensure that schoolgirls no longer have to miss school or engage in transactional sex to cater to their menstrual needs.
Since its establishment, the foundation has distributed sanitary products to over 300 schoolgirls and educated them on reproductive health.
Charger Limited’s CEO, Dr. Emmanuel Bortey Borketey, led the donation, demonstrating the company’s commitment to giving back to the community. SheRise Ghana Foundation’s CEO, Sarah Teni Babohima, expressed her gratitude to Dr. Borketey and the company, assuring that every penny will be used judiciously to advance the worthy cause.
It would be recalled that as part of the International Menstrual Hygiene Day 2024, She-Rise, an NGO operating in the Upper East region, donated pads to about 300 girls at the Gambibigo Senior High School and provided mentorship programs to support their overall development.
The pad donation is part of She-Rise Ghana’s initiative to address period poverty, which affects many girls in the school. The organization believes that no girl should miss school due to a lack of access to sanitary products. The pads were distributed to the girls, along with a comprehensive guide on menstrual hygiene and management.
Humul Khrusum Tahiru, on behalf of Sarah Teni Bobhiama, the founder of She-Rise Ghana, underscored the importance of the sanitary pad donation to the young girls and described the founder, Ms. Teni, as a magnanimous individual committed to helping young girls with basic needs.
