The Adukrom Project

On March 4th 2026, our Adukrom Community Outreach was a holistic initiative designed to bridge health education, menstrual hygiene support, and emotional well-being for students and the broader community in Adukrom, Eastern Region.

Through interactive workshops, practical hygiene demonstrations, resource donations, and open wellness dialogues, we empowered young girls and boys while providing vital health essentials to families. Featuring expert facilitation from the Country Director of the African Mental Health Matters Organization (Ghana), this project created a safe, supportive environment for learning, self-care, and community growth.

We conducted dedicated health talk sessions for young girls covering critical wellness topics:

• Puberty & Personal Hygiene: Building confidence and body awareness.

• PCOS Education: Raising awareness about Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

• Mental & Emotional Wellness: Helping youth understand the connection between physical health and mind.
  
  

Practical Demonstrations & Sustainable Resources

• Practical Training: Step-by-step demonstrations on using menstrual pads, reusable products, and resource kits correctly and hygienically.

• Sustainable Pad Distribution: 40 young girls were equipped with sustainable pad kits designed to last up to one year (each kit contains 2 durable reusable pads).

• Stationery Goodie Bags: Educational  resources dstributed to 100 student(boys & girls) alongside hygiene products to support their ongoing education.

We hosted inclusive conversations with men and women across the community covering:

• Women’s & Men’s Health Awareness

• Social and General Health Awareness

• Malaria Protection: Distribution of treated bed nets.

• Hygiene Essentials: Hand sanitisers and basic hygiene products for families.

• Interactive Q&A: Allowed community members to ask questions freely, share lived experiences, and feel supported.
