ZEGCAWIS successfully concluded school-based Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) Club
activities across 24 secondary schools in 10 LGAs of Borno State, including Chibok, Bama, Konduga,
Kaga, Mafa, Gwoza, Damboa, Monguno, MMC, and Jere, under the Malala Funded Girl Fund
Programme reaching 1210 girls.
Schoolgirls aged 11–17 were engaged in Menstrual Hygiene Management club sessions, school-related
gender-based violence, and mental health support.
These clubs created safe spaces for girls to learn, share experiences, and challenge harmful social
norms.
Beyond the classroom, club members led sensitization dramas, recited the newly adopted MHM
anthem, and facilitated discussions during school assemblies, helping normalize conversations about
menstruation and advocate for inclusive school environments where girls can learn with dignity.
