Mummy Foundation – DREAM Project

X

The Mummy Foundation implemented the one-year Dignity, Reproductive Education, and Menstrual Support (DREAM) project with support from the Rights Now Foundation. The project has been dedicated to transforming the lives of 100 adolescent girls aged 11 to 19, including teenage mothers, through an integrated response to their menstrual and sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR) needs.

During the project school absenteeism reduced significantly, and participants became more confident in managing their health. Importantly, girls gained a deeper understanding of their sexual and reproductive rights, knowledge that empowers them to make informed choices, resist harmful practices, and advocate for their well-being.

A majority of the girls came from vulnerable households where poverty and broken family structures limit access to both essential products and accurate health education. Without sustained intervention, these young women risk being trapped in cycles of stigma, school dropout, and diminished opportunities. By strengthening dignity, building knowledge, and amplifying voices, DREAM became more than a project – it created a lifeline of empowerment.
