In-Kind Support

Not every gift is money. Many of the things that keep a girl in school or help her start a business can be donated directly.

What we accept

  • Sanitary pads: New, sealed packs to keep our dispensers stocked.
  • Period package items: New underwear and small pouches.
  • School supplies: Books, uniforms, and stationery for girls returning to school.
  • Tools and equipment: Items for TVET trainees and business startup kits, such as sewing machines or hand tools.
  • Dispensers: Pad dispensers for school and public toilets.

How to give

  • Please contact us on WhatsApp before you send or drop off anything, so we can confirm what is needed, where it should go, and how it will be delivered.
  • WhatsApp: +254 141 717 400
  • We will confirm receipt of every donation and tell you where it went.

Nominate a School

Do you know a school where girls struggle to access sanitary pads, stay in class, or get the support they need? Tell us about it and we will look at how we can help.

What we look for

  • A primary or secondary school in Kenya with girls who would benefit from our programmes.
  • A head teacher or staff member who is willing to work with us.
  • Clear needs such as lack of sanitary pads, high absenteeism, or girls dropping out.
  • A safe place where we can install and maintain a dispenser, if applying for the Elimu Dada Campaign.

What happens next

  • We review every nomination and may contact you or the school for more information.
  • Our team assesses needs, resources, and how the school fits our current programmes.
  • If a partnership is possible, we agree on the next steps with the school leadership.
  • We keep nominators updated where appropriate and with the school’s consent.
