Protect Her Health And Education Welfare Foundation
Protect Her Health And Education is an advocacy initiative dedicated to protecting the health, education, dignity, and well-being of girls and women. We work to address challenges that prevent girls and children from living healthy, safe, educated, and dignified lives. Our work focuses on advocacy, awareness, policy engagement, community participation, and partnerships that promote sustainable solutions for vulnerable communities.
Our Mission
To advocate for policies, systems, and community practices that protect the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of women and children while promoting access to essential health needs, education, dignity, equity, and accountability.
Our Vision
A Nigeria where every girl and child is protected, has access to essential health needs and quality education, and can grow, learn, and thrive with dignity
Advocating for a Healthier and Better-Educated Generation
Protect Her Health And Education believes that protecting girls requires more than addressing one challenge at a time. A girl cannot fully learn when she lacks access to basic health needs. She cannot thrive when she is unsafe. She cannot reach her full potential when systems fail to protect her dignity and rights. That is why we advocate for policies and systems that connect health, education, protection, and dignity.
Our Advocacy Priorities
- Improved access to menstrual hygiene products
- Ending period poverty
- Supporting girls’ access to education
- Child protection and safeguarding
- Mental health awareness
- Affordable and accessible essential health needs
- Stronger policies protecting women and children

Millions of girls struggle to manage menstruation safely because of the cost and limited availability of sanitary products. Period poverty can contribute to school absenteeism, health risks, stigma, and gender inequality. We therefore advocate for menstrual products to be accessible and affordable, including the removal of taxes and levies and support for free or subsidized products for vulnerable girls and women.
