We hear Period Poverty often but do we truly understand it? At MAPP, we raise awareness, support those affected, and fight the stigma.
Periods are natural.
Let’s break the silence.
Let’s end the shame.

Leaving a tampon in for over 8 hours can lead to Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) a rare but serious infection. Watch for fever, rash, vomiting, or dizziness. Change tampons regularly & stay informed. Your health matters. 💗 #TSSAwareness #PeriodHealth #MAPPGambia

Earlier last week, MAPP took the fight against period poverty to Gambia Methodist Academy. We held an interactive session on menstruation & hygiene breaking the stigma and creating safe spaces. Pads were also donated to support students in need. #EndPeriodPoverty #MAPPGambia
