About LydiaYusuf Foundation

Brief History

LydiaYusuf Foundation was established in response to an ongoing challenge affecting girls in Kenya’s urban slums. Limited access to sanitary products continues to disrupt education and contribute to absenteeism.

Many girls miss school during their menstrual cycle due to financial constraints or fear of embarrassment. In some cases, this exposes them to serious risks, including early pregnancy and school dropout.

The foundation provides structured and consistent support to ensure menstruation does not become a barrier to education.
