Why Menstrual Hygiene Day Matters to MACONA

Menstrual Hygiene Day, celebrated on May 28th, highlights the importance of menstrual care and raises awareness for women and girls worldwide. At MACONA, we see this day as an essential reminder of our commitment to empower young women by providing them with the necessary resources to manage their menstrual health confidently. Our mission encompasses ensuring that no girl misses school due to lack of access to necessary hygiene products, promoting educational equity and long-term social change.

The Work We Do

MACONA operates a comprehensive supply chain for our hygiene kits. From sourcing quality materials to packing and delivering them to schools and community centers, every step is meticulously coordinated. Volunteers in the field oversee the proper distribution and ensure that each recipient comprehends the product's use and importance. Continuously, we refine our processes to maximize reach and efficiency, driven by the overarching goal: keeping girls in school.
