On 30 April 2018, Fountain of Hope was at UNDP Kenya for a Holistic Approach in Advocacy of Menstrual Hygiene Management — a moment the organization called exhilarating, on the record, in the founding year of the work that keeps Garissa’s girls learning.

The story, in a frame

The founding year takes the floor.

Four months after Fountain of Hope was established, its founder carried menstrual hygiene advocacy to the national stage — to UNDP Kenya, for a holistic approach to the subject.

At UNDP Kenya, for the girls of Garissa.

UNDP Kenya hosted a forum for a Holistic Approach in Advocacy of Menstrual Hygiene Management. Fountain of Hope was there, and described it as an exhilarating moment.

The discussion, unpacked

Advocacy, holistically.

Why being at UNDP Kenya mattered for a young organization and the girls it serves.

01 An exhilarating moment

For a community organization established the year before, a seat at UNDP Kenya was national recognition of local story. Menstrual hygiene management is a matter of dignity, health and schooling — and a holistic approach insists it be addressed with that fullness, not as a taboo.

03 Why it is part of this site

The girls who miss school for want of a pad are the same girls this website’s menstrual-health topic follows. That it all began, in part, at a UNDP forum for holistic advocacy is the founding year made visible — a Garissa cause meeting Nairobi.
