Nyayiik's story entails the struggles most girls in South Sudan face every month.

World Vision is helping girls like Juliet, 12, from Malawi stay in school by addressing period poverty through reusable sanitary pads. Juliet once missed classes because her family could not afford disposable pads, which cost about K2,000 ($1.15) per packet. World Vision trained and equipped mother groups on the production of reusable sanitary pads, which has turned out to be a transformative solution. As a result, girls are attending classes with confidence, absenteeism has reduced, and hygiene practices have improved across the school.
