🚨 Dad Joke Alert 🚨

What's a dad's superpower?

Being there. Period.

Today, we're celebrating the fathers and father figures who show up, listen, learn, and stand beside their daughters through every stage of life.

Support doesn't always look grand. Sometimes it's a conversation. Sometimes it's encouragement. Sometimes it's simply being present when it matters most.

At PadMad Kenya, we believe every girl deserves the confidence, dignity, and support to thrive. We're grateful for the dads, uncles, grandfathers, mentors, and caregivers helping make that possible every day.

Happy Father's Day to the men who have their daughters' backs. ❤️

290 menstrual boxes. Hundreds of smiles. Countless possibilities.

At Nkaroni Girls, 290 menstrual boxes were distributed through the leadership of The Samburu Project, in collaboration with Airkenya Express, Kapa Oil Refineries and PadMad Kenya committed to ensuring that no girl’s education is interrupted by her period.

Each box was thoughtfully packed with essentials including a menstrual kit, cycle tracking booklet, exercise books, a pen, tissue, and soap — practical tools that support menstrual health, dignity, confidence, and continued learning.

Beyond the supplies, these boxes represent something bigger: a future where menstruation is not a barrier to education, where girls can manage their periods safely and confidently, and where conversations about menstrual health are open, informed, and inclusive.

Ending period poverty requires all of us. Join the movement by sharing, supporting, and helping create a world where every girl has the resources she needs to thrive.

Every child deserves the opportunity to grow, learn, dream, and thrive in environments that uphold their dignity and well-being.

On this Day of the African Child, we honor the resilience, creativity, and potential of children across the continent. Their future is shaped by the choices we make today, through equitable access to education, safe sanitation, healthy communities, and opportunities that allow them to reach their full potential.

When children are empowered, communities flourish. When dignity is protected, futures are transformed.

Today, we celebrate Africa's children and reaffirm our shared commitment to building a future where every child can thrive.

Who said conversations about periods can't be fun?

Wamba Mixed Day School brought the energy. There was dancing, singing, laughter, learning, and plenty of excitement throughout the day. The students showed up ready to participate, ask questions, and make the most of every moment.

The Menstrual Box distribution was a highlight, reminding us that access to menstrual health products can bring confidence, dignity, and opportunity to girls who need them.

Days like these are why we do this work. Real impact happens when education, community, and a little bit of fun come together.

A huge thank you to everyone helping make this possible. The journey continues, and we can't wait to visit the next school.

What an incredible day at Wamba Mixed Day School!

The energy, excitement, and engagement from 939 students, including 389 girls and 550 boys, reminded us why menstrual health education matters. From student performances to a pad-use demonstration, the day was filled with learning, participation, and enthusiasm.

The highlight was the distribution of Menstrual Boxes, providing girls with the resources they need to manage their periods with dignity and stay focused on their education.

This is exactly what the Menstrual Box initiative is about: breaking stigma, promoting understanding, and ensuring that no girl misses school because of her period.

A huge thank you to our donors, sponsors, partners, volunteers, and staff who continue to make this work possible.

We still have more schools to reach. Every donation helps us place more Menstrual Boxes where they are needed most and keeps more girls in school, where they belong.

Join us in creating lasting impact.
