About Us
What About Saki
SAKI; A Japanese translation (Sa) meaning “Blossom” and (Ki) meaning “Hope”.
Our Objective
- To educate the girls and women on the basic knowledge on puberty and menstruation to prevent early and unwanted pregnancy.
- To educate communities about the myths, taboos and misinformation that people have about girls and women during their menstrual period and normalize menstruation so as to reduce stigma, bullying and discrimination.
- To establish a sustainable steady network with other stakeholders, the government, organized groups, institutions and individuals to promote Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM).
- To promote gender equality, equal address and treatment of the youth.
Our Purpose
SAKI purposes to deliver sanitary pads/products and Menstrual Health education to Kenyan girls from poor socio- economic backgrounds to make sure that periods do not get in the way of girls’ right to Education.
We want to make menstrual products more accessible to every
school girl. It also normalizes menstruation to the youth especially men. Men
need to get over the stigma that menstruation is gross, dirty, a women’s only
issue, or something that emasculates them.
We are in a journey that everybody supports for a cause that will ensure every single adolescent girl receives full education without missing out on classes because of their period cycles.
