Sanitary pads for schoolgirls
We bring pads straight into schools, so girls who cannot afford them do not have to stay home every month.
ለእናት · For mothers, for daughters
No girl should miss school because of her period.
LeEnat Charity Foundation puts sanitary pads, notebooks and school supplies directly into the hands of girls in Ethiopian schools — so one week every month stops costing them their education.

Why we exist
A period shouldn’t be a reason to stay home.
For many girls in Ethiopia, sanitary pads are simply out of reach. Without them, a girl stays home — a few days every month, every month of the year — and falls further behind until school stops feeling possible.
Our name, ለእናት, means “for mother.” Every girl we reach should leave with what she needs to stay in class.
Read our storyWhat we do
Practical help, delivered by hand.
No middle layers. Our team travels to the schools, meets the girls, and hands every pack over in person — alongside teachers, parents and community elders.
Notebooks & school supplies
Exercise books, pens and the basics a student needs to keep up — delivered with the pads, to the same girls.
Meals for mothers & children
Shared meals for mothers and children, and diapers for babies, through community partners.
Making pads in Ethiopia
Our next big step: producing sanitary pads inside the country, so supply is steady and affordable for the long run.
