Programme

The Girls’ Challenge

Free weekly sessions on menstrual and reproductive health, run as conversation rather than a lecture. Cash prizes every week.

Coming soon

The Girls’ Challenge is back

Too many women and girls work out their own bodies in silence, on myths and half-information. The Girls’ Challenge closes that gap: menstrual health and hygiene, reproductive health, contraceptives and menopause, taught as conversation rather than a lecture. There are cash prizes every week.

When: Saturdays, 12–2pm WAT
Where: Online, via Google Meet
Format: Quizzes, debates and expert-led conversations
Open to: Women, girls and school groups

Schools may enter up to three students, with parental consent.

From our school and community sessions

The Challenge grew out of this work — the same rooms, the same conversations, taken online so anyone can join.

Entering as a school?

Up to three students per school, with parental consent. Register each student on the same form. If you would rather arrange a group some other way, or want the programme brought to your school, the outreach desk will help.
