HEALTH, DIGNITY AND PARTICIPATION
KaiVie Care: Menstrual Health Education in Kenya
KaiVie Care advances health, dignity and educational participation through sustainable menstrual products, inclusive health education and healthcare navigation.
Dignity Should Not Depend on Income
A lack of menstrual products and accurate health information can affect confidence, participation and school attendance.
KaiVie Care goes beyond product distribution. It combines material support with knowledge, stigma reduction and pathways to appropriate professional care.
What the Programme Does
Sustainable Product Distribution
We provide reliable access to appropriate reusable menstrual products, including high-quality reusable pads and menstrual cups where suitable.
Menstrual Health Education
Young people receive age-appropriate information about menstruation, hygiene, body awareness and when to seek professional support.
Inclusive Education
Girls and boys participate in relevant learning sessions to reduce misinformation, teasing and social stigma.
Healthcare Access and Navigation
Young people are helped to understand available healthcare pathways and the importance of appropriate preventive and professional care.
Supportive Community Conversations
We engage educators, families and community leaders because lasting menstrual dignity requires informed environments.
Our Approach to Product Choice
Menstrual products are not one-size-fits-all. Programme implementation should consider age, personal choice, water and sanitation access, product-care requirements, cultural context and guidance from qualified health professionals.
Participants should receive clear instructions, the opportunity to ask questions and access to appropriate support.
Why Education Includes Boys
Menstrual health is a community issue. Including boys in suitable, age-appropriate education can reduce misinformation, teasing and stigma while supporting more respectful schools, families and communities.
