This workshop is designed for schoolgirls aged 8 to 15 to learn about periods and puberty and receive the mentorship they need to manage their periods confidently and effectively.

The workshop lasts one hour. During this time, schoolgirls receive education and mentorship on periods and puberty, followed by a question-and-answer session.

All our workshops are completely free. We offer both physical and digital workshops.

Our physical workshops take place when we visit schools in underserved communities across Africa or when we partner with local NGOs to deliver workshops within local communities. During these sessions, schoolgirls receive:

• A free copy of our comic book (Issue 1)

• Three reusable sanitary pads

• One pair of underwear

• A wet bag for storing used pads before washing at home

• A free period bracelet to help track their menstrual cycle

Our digital workshops are held online every three months via Zoom. For digital workshops, schoolgirls are encouraged to download or purchase a copy of Issue 1 of our comic book for use during the session.

Our workshops are designed for schoolgirls between the ages of 8 and 15. It is often best for girls to attend a period workshop before their first period, so they feel informed, confident, and prepared when it happens.

Of course! Your daughter can attend a digital workshop on her own. However, we encourage parents or guardians to attend alongside her whenever possible, as this allows you to supervise and ensure she is learning as intended.

Our digital workshops are held every three months, so you’re welcome to register for any upcoming session.

Yes! You can attend a digital workshop without your daughter. However, we encourage attending together whenever possible. Participating alongside her allows her to ask questions directly and benefit from the guidance of an experienced PadHer educator or mentor.

If you attend without your daughter, we recommend having a simple follow-up session at home. Use what you learn during the workshop, together with our comic book, to guide her through the topics. The comic book is designed to make learning about periods and puberty easy, engaging, and age-appropriate.

Yes! Since the digital workshop is held online, participants can join from anywhere in the world. Please note, however, that the workshop is conducted in English only.

— A free copy of our comic book (physical workshops only)

Schoolgirls are encouraged to download or purchase Issue 1 of our comic book for use during digital workshops.

We conduct all our digital workshops using the first issue of Girls Only. Please ensure you download or purchase a copy of this first issue to use during the workshop.

Once you register for the next digital workshop, we will contact you using the email address and/or phone number (WhatsApp only) you provided. We will share important details through these channels, including the Zoom meeting ID, the date and time of the workshop, a short bio of your educator or mentor, and other relevant information.

It is not compulsory to read the comic book before attending the digital workshop. However, we encourage it, as it helps you become familiar with periods and puberty ahead of the session.
