The Viola Ford Fletcher Foundation-Ghana (VFFF) is a registered non-governmental organization (CG017790323) based in Accra, Ghana, focused on improving health care awareness and enhancing the lives of teenage girls.

The Foundation is committed to improving the lives of teenage girls in underserved communities by addressing one of the most overlooked barriers to education and empowerment: menstrual health.

Over the past three years, we have supported over 1,443 girls across six schools with essential hygiene products and menstrual health education. Through our "PAD-ME" (Providing Access to Dignity-Menstrual Empowerment) Initiative, we aim to ensure that no girl misses school or loses her confidence due to the lack of access to basic menstrual hygiene resources.

Now, we need your support to expand this impactful program and reach even more young girls.

The Challenges We’re Facing

Many teenage girls in Ghana face significant challenges related to menstrual health, including:

  • Lack of Access to Hygiene Products: Many families cannot afford basic items like menstrual pads, resulting in girls resorting to unsafe alternatives or skipping school during their cycles.
  • Social Stigma and Myths: Cultural taboos and misinformation about menstruation perpetuate feelings of shame and embarrassment, affecting girls’ confidence.
  • Health Risks: Without proper hygiene products and education, many girls face infections and other health complications.
  • Absenteeism: The inability to manage their menstrual cycles leads to missed school days, hindering academic performance and future opportunities.

Why This Matters

Addressing menstrual health is critical to empowering young girls and ensuring their right to education and dignity. When girls have access to hygiene products and education, they:

  • Stay in school, reducing absenteeism and dropout rates.
  • Build self-confidence, enabling them to focus on their education and future aspirations.
  • Gain the knowledge to manage their health and break the cycle of stigma surrounding menstruation.

By supporting this initiative, you’re not just helping teenage girls in Ghana—you’re contributing to a future where they can thrive academically, socially, and economically.

Our Goal

Our goal is to raise $3,000 to sustain and expand the "PAD-ME" Initiative. With your support, we can ensure that teenage girls in Ghana have consistent access to hygiene products and the education they need to manage their menstrual health with dignity and confidence.

Your generosity will:

  • Reduce School Absenteeism: Empower girls to stay in school and focus on their education without fear or embarrassment.
  • Boost Confidence: Equip girls with the resources and knowledge they need to feel confident and empowered.
  • Improve Health and Hygiene: Ensure girls can practice safe and effective menstrual hygiene, reducing health risks.
  • Break the Cycle of Stigma: Foster open conversations and awareness among students, parents, and teachers to create a supportive environment for girls.
  • Create Lasting Impact: Build a sustainable program that continues to empower future generations of young women.

Your support is more than a donation—it’s an investment in the future of young girls in Ghana. By contributing to the "PAD-ME" Initiative, you’re helping to break barriers, build confidence, and empower the next generation of leaders.

From all of us at the Viola Ford Fletcher Foundation-Ghana, thank you for standing with us in this mission. Together, we can ensure that no girl’s education or dignity is compromised due to menstrual health challenges.

With heartfelt gratitude,
The Viola Ford Fletcher Foundation-Ghana Team
