Access to menstrual hygiene products and clean water is often overlooked in educational discussions, yet it remains a critical factor in ensuring that girls, in particular, can attend school consistently. OCF’s Menstrual Hygiene and Clean Water Support program is designed to provide female students with sanitary pads and access to clean water. The initiative aims to reduce absenteeism among girls during their menstrual cycles, ensuring that they can attend school with dignity and without interruption.

The program not only supplies menstrual hygiene products but also raises awareness about menstrual health, hygiene, and the importance of clean water in maintaining overall well-being. Additionally, the Foundation supports the installation of water facilities in schools, particularly those in rural areas, where access to clean water is often limited. By addressing these fundamental needs, OCF promotes better health and supports uninterrupted learning for all students, particularly girls.

A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO EDUCATION

The Okachi Charity Foundation is driven by a holistic approach to education, addressing not just academic needs but also the personal, social, and environmental challenges faced by children from low-income backgrounds. Through its diverse range of programs—Scholarship and Inter-House Competitions, School Supply Drives, Infrastructure Projects, Volunteer Teacher Program, and Menstrual Hygiene and Clean Water Support—the Foundation is transforming lives and creating opportunities for students who would otherwise be left behind.

OCF remains committed to its mission of ensuring that every child in Nigeria has access to quality education, believing that education is the most powerful tool to break the cycle of poverty and empower future generations to build a better society.
