how it works.
Our Programs & Initiatives
PADS for Girls Monthly Mentorship Sessions:
We believe every girl deserves to manage their period
with dignity. Period poverty shouldn't keep girls out of
school or make them feel ashamed.
That's why we fight:
To ensure affordable access to menstrual products.
To break the stigma surrounding menstruation.
To educate girls on critical topics like:
Building self-esteem
Healthy young adult relationships
Preventing sexual and gender-based violence
(SGBV)
Recognizing and responding to abuse
Our Impact:
We empower 40 adolescent girls (20 per location)
through two years of monthly mentoring sessions every
1st Saturday of each month.
Back to School Drive:
Organized August / September Yearly
To equip our primarily school-aged beneficiaries for
academic success, we’ve annually distributed essential
school supplies since 2021.
From fresh clothing to writing tools, we’ve empowered
over 340+ young minds to confidently pursue their
education.
Community Service:
Our program empowers young women to become catalysts for
positive change. Through structured activities, we instill a deep-
rooted commitment to community service.
Clean Up Campaign
Every July, our girls rollup their
sleeves to tackle a critical community
challenge: SANITATION. Following
educational sessions on
environmental health, they take action
by organizing and leading community-
wide clean-up campaigns.
Service Day
Each December, our girls dedicate
their time to supporting orphanages,
hospitals, or local organizations,
transforming them into active
contributors to their communities
and the world.
Our Impact: Since 2019,
over 340+ young women
have contributed more than
4+ hours each to volunteer
initiatives, totaling
thousands of service hours.
Vocational Skills Training:
To graduate and earn certification, all mentees must complete a three-month vocational skills training program.
To equip our graduating mentees with sustainable livelihoods, we conduct a skills assessment in January of their final year. Based on popular demand, we provide a three-month vocational training program. This empowers our alumni with the skills and confidence to generate income, ensuring long-term access to menstrual products and financial stability.
Our Impact: We trained over 200+ mentees in pastries- making in 2022.

MEASUREMENT
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) System:
We believe in accountability, integrity, and transparency at Positive Actions
Driving Safety for Girls (PADS for Girls). To ensure that our programs and
initiatives are effective and impactful, we have established a robust

continuously track and assess our initiatives’ outcomes, identify improvement
areas, and make data-driven decisions to optimize our interventions.
Our M&E system is characterized by:
- Comprehensive Data Collection - 25 %
- Measurable Objectives - 25 %
- Regular Monitoring - 25 %
- Periodic Evaluation - 25 %
Measurable Indicators:
Some of the key measurable indicators we employ include:
- Surveys and questionnaires
