Our Story
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.
