On the 30th of June 2025, Hadassah Foundation joins Striving with Nora Foundation to address two crucial aspects of women’s health (menstrual health and mental health). The collaboration was aimed to raise awareness and educate students at the University of Buea on these important topics, as well as to provide tangible support through the distribution of sanitary pad
Mental health is often overlooked in discussions surrounding menstrual health, but the two are intrinsically linked. Hormonal changes throughout the menstrua cycle can affect mood and mental state. The distribution of menstrual pads was the most tangible outcomes of the event, this not only to address immediate hygiene needs but also promoting the idea that menstruation should not limit women’s participation in education or social activities, reinforcing the idea that it is a natural biological process rather than a taboo subject.
