Our Story
We are Caring for Girls – the sisters, mentors, and leaders dedicated to empowering women and girls in deprived communities across Sierra Leone.
Delivering reproductive health education and services to women and girls since 2022
Caring for Girls began as a passion project in rural Sierra Leone, where we sought to address the taboos and misinformation surrounding menstruation. Growing up in Freetown, we recognized the urgent need for better menstrual health education and resources. With a small team and a big vision, we started making a difference one community at a time.
