Our Projects
Maliza Shame Project
Maliza Shame project focuses on the empowerment of the girls to ensure that they stay in school. 65% of women and girls in Kenya cannot afford pads. This means that over 850,000 girls miss 6 weeks of school every year and women miss valuable work hours. The problem is worse across East Africa with 4 in 5 unable to afford pads. Some girl’s use leaves, skins and rags as the alternatives, but can be unhygienic, leading to long-term health complications. They also cause embarrassing leaks and shame. Girls would rather stay home than risk such humiliation.
Through the maliza shame project girls are provided with undergarments, sanitary towels and hygiene education. During every distribution, the girls received a health education session that includes: the menstrual cycle, personal hygiene, HIV prevention education, character building and a demonstration of how to use the sanitary towels and dispose of them properly.
If not for this project’s assistance, many girls would be absent up to five days of school a month due to lack of protection during their monthly cycle. We are enhancing girls’ participation in education by enabling them to stay in school full-time.
Since One Life foundation inception in 2014, we have been able to reach to over 10,000 girls across Kenya. This has been made possible due to individual support and corporate partnership.
Opportunities to Make a Difference
