Today is significant for Conscious Connections Foundation (CCF) because it celebrates the work we do every day in Nepal! Our mission is to help girls reach their full potential and we know first-hand, the impacts of educating and empowering women.
CCF invests in girls and women through education, healthcare, skills development and training.
Thing is, we discovered a woman’s period can provide a big barrier to getting these resources to them.
To kick this obstacle aside, CCF funds a Menstrual Health Hygiene program that has been growing and gaining great interest in several parts of Nepal. We provide menstrual health training workshops and reusable menstruation kits to our participants—and CCF doesn’t just work in urban and easy-to-access areas.

In fact, our Nepali partners take our trainings to some of the most difficult and remote areas of Nepal.
This is where Menstrual Hygiene education and reusable kits are needed the most.
Watch over the next few weeks as CCF’s trainings come alive in the villages of Hindung and Neber in northern Dhading district…
