Dedicated to improving health, education, and dignity through innovative hygiene solutions
Transforming hygiene access for students across Africa
Chil Hygiene Center was founded with a clear mission: to ensure that no student misses school due to lack of access to essential hygiene products. We recognized that menstrual health management remains a significant barrier to education for many young girls across Africa, leading to school absenteeism and decreased academic performance.
Our journey began when we observed the challenges faced by female students in accessing affordable and quality hygiene products. Many students would miss up to 5 days of school each month, significantly impacting their education and future opportunities.
In response, we developed our innovative credit system, allowing students to access hygiene products when needed through their school sick bays, with parents settling the credit during visiting days or at the end of term. This approach ensures dignity, accessibility, and continuity in education.
Guiding principles that drive our work and shape our future
To provide dignified access to essential hygiene products for students across Africa, ensuring that health concerns never stand in the way of education and opportunity.
We strive to create sustainable systems that empower communities, educate on health matters, and break down barriers to education through innovative solutions.
A world where every student has uninterrupted access to education, unhindered by health or hygiene challenges.
We envision schools across Africa equipped with our E-Hygiene Shops, creating environments where students can focus on learning rather than worrying about basic health needs.
The principles that guide our work every day
We believe in preserving the dignity of every student by providing discreet access to essential hygiene products.
We are committed to making hygiene products accessible to all students, regardless of their financial circumstances.
We believe in the power of education to transform lives and are dedicated to removing barriers to learning.
