Welcome to the
MENSTRUATION
DIGNITY INITIATIVE PROJECT
DID YOU KNOW?
1 in 3 girls in South Africa miss at least 5 days of school each month during menstruation due to lack of access to sanitary products.
In South Africa, 2.6 million schoolgirls are affected by ‘Period Poverty’ every single month.
Over 3,000 schools in South Africa have substandard sanitary facilities, with poor safety, hygiene, and privacy.
HOW YOU
CREATE
IMPACT
The “BLUMERS” campaign provides an immediate way for innovative and socially responsible companies to contribute to global education as well as mental and physical health solutions.
You benefit knowing that you are investing in girl’s education, which is the biggest payoff.
Your clients know that you are a company dedicated to giving back to our global community, and not simply for potential tax deductions.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
By sponsoring the ‘BLUMERS’ Initiative in South Africa, your company helps shape the future of global leadership by empowering girls to stay in school. In doing so, you’re not just transforming their lives, you’re investing in future women leaders and innovators, who will shape the world’s progress.
​
Girls’ education is directly linked to economic prosperity. Studies show that when girls stay in school, they are more likely to succeed, secure employment, and contribute positively to the economy. Missing just 5 days of school per month due to menstruation sets these girls back academically, which in turn reduces their chances of breaking the cycle of poverty
