Uman Tok (UT – meaning “woman talk” in Krio) is committed to ensuring that no girl misses a day at school because of her period. UT’s skilled seamstresses craft reusable menstrual hygiene kits to be distributed alongside quality sexual reproductive health education (SRHE) within partner schools, as well as through a wider network of organizations. This education is essential for empowering teenage girls and boys to understand their bodies, encouraging school attendance. UT has expanded its impact by producing and distributing dignity kits for adolescent boys so that they do not feel left out. This small, but mighty female-led NGO continues to inspire not only students and teachers, but also their workers and partners alike.

TLF’s dedication to quality teaching continues to elevate levels of education within our partner schools.
