2 days until World Menstrual Hygiene Day.

Menstrual health is not only about access to products. It is also about access to accurate information.

Splash delivers age-appropriate education to help students understand puberty and menstrual health, normalize periods, reduce stigma, and address common misconceptions.

In Splash-supported schools in Addis Ababa, girls who said they felt able to manage their menstrual hygiene at school increased from 74% to 99%.

When girls have the information and support they need, they are better able to participate with confidence.

Digital access matters — especially when it comes to education.

For , we’re thinking about how open-access tools can help more schools, organizations, and communities put important health education into practice.

That includes menstrual health education.

yes.period, developed by Splash and WASH United, is a new open-access digital hub created to make period education easier to access, share, and use.

Because when more people have access to clear, practical information, more students can learn with confidence, dignity, and support.

Congratulations to Angela Mwila Kapembwa of BORDA Zambia, a valued Project WISE II partner, on being recognized among the 100 African Women Leading Africa’s Water & Sanitation Future.

This recognition reflects the kind of technical, locally grounded leadership that helps WASH systems last.

As Angela says in the report:
“Innovation is not only about technology. It is about building systems that communities can sustain long after the project ends.”

We’re grateful to work alongside Angela and the BORDA Zambia team as we help build healthier school environments for children in Zambia.

Congratulations, Angela!
