ListenUp: Amplifying girls voices through sanitary pads and health information To implement safe, accurate, and cost-effective reproductive health innovations for girls in the form of disposable sanitary pads coupled with girl-centered reproductive health information and resources


We implement safe, accurate, and cost-effective reproductive health innovations for girls in the form of disposable sanitary pads coupled with girl-centered reproductive health information and resources. We evaluate this approach against traditional facilitation-based methods for impact on girls’ educational attainment, sexual behavior, reproductive health, and self-determination.

We would like to see women & girls at the Center of Development.
