Join the Movement to End Period Poverty in Zimbabwe

The Shona Sisterhood Charity Foundation is dedicated to end period poverty in Zimbabwe. We focus on providing reusable menstrual kits and comprehensive menstrual health education to young girls, enabling them to pursue their education without interruption. Our mission is to empower these girls with the knowledge and resources they need to manage their menstrual health confidently and with dignity.

Why We’re Called Shona Sisterhood

Shona Sisterhood exists to support young girls from the Shona communities of Zimbabwe by providing them with reusable menstrual kits — a simple, sustainable solution that enables them to stay in school all year round.

Too many girls miss class — or drop out altogether — simply because they don’t have access to basic menstrual care. We’re changing that.

The name “Shona” reflects the vibrant communities we serve, while “Sisterhood” represents the global network of women and allies standing together in solidarity. It’s about empowerment, dignity, and opportunity — for every girl, everywhere.

The Shona are a group of culturally related ethnic peoples primarily living in Zimbabwe, as well as parts of Mozambique, Zambia, and Botswana. They make up the majority population of Zimbabwe, and their history, language, and traditions are central to the country’s identity.

Together, we’re creating a sisterhood that breaks down barriers and opens up futures — one kit, one girl, one school year at a time.

We are committed to creating sustainable change through our targeted programs and services.

In Zimbabwe, 1 in 10 girls misses school due to lack of menstrual products.
