Menstruation: A Vital Health Issue in Cameroon and Sub-Saharan Africa

One out of 10 girls in Sub-Saharan Africa misses class during menstruation, 2014 UNESCO Report.

Initiated by the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI NETWORK), AFRICA4HER and previous activities at our non-governmental organization keep enhancing our skills in tackling women's health and menstruation in particular in communities in Cameroon.

During our cervical Cancer free screening campaigns, we use this as an avenue to educate girls and women on genital health bearing in mind the vital role women play in communities in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Their health becomes premordial in any aspect of daily life and as a non-profit organization, we are soliciting for funds to run a vast women's health related project which we have be running for years now focusing on: the prevention of cervical Cancer, Breast Cancer, HIV, Communicable and Non-Communicable diseases.
