Pads and Panties for Girls (PP4G) Program
The PP4G is SEED Africa’s flagship program targeting vulnerable early teenage girls affected by extreme poverty.
SEED Africa has developed long-term partnership with primary schools – mostly in very remote areas of Kenya to provide girls with pads and panties to protect them from being taken advantage of by men and to keep them in schools and maintain their self-confidence and dignity.
During the PP distribution in schools, SEED Africa does organize rapid sessions to provide vital life skills to the girls.
SEED Africa is seeking for support to keep these girls supplied with the PPs and protected emotionally and physically.
