Young Women Menstrual Health Entrepreneurs

Irise Institute East Africa (IIEA), with support from the Foundation for a Just Society (FJS), implements the Menstrual Justice Project. This multi-level initiative integrates school-based education, youth leadership, community engagement, and policy advocacy to promote dignity, equality, and inclusion for menstruating girls and women across Africa. Working in partnership with grassroots organisations across East and West Africa, including Kaleke Kasome, Gufasha Foundation, Touch Ministries, and Awesome Minds Speaks, the project delivers menstrual health education in schools, establishes and mentors Menstrual Justice Clubs, trains peer champions in feminist leadership, conducts WASH assessments, and engages cultural and religious leaders to challenge harmful norms, taboos, and misconceptions.
