Voices from Samburu
Stories of change.
Real voices, real outcomes — shared with consent.
“We started BFFS because no girl in Samburu should ever choose between her dignity and her schoolbooks.”
“The pad bank means I no longer miss class every month. My marks are better this term than they have ever been.”
“The MHM training changed how our staff talks to girls. The silence around periods has finally broken.”
