Changemakers Lab Module 1:

Here are my Key takeaways and how it’s shaping my initiative plan….

Goal setting is very crucial and paramount for my initiative. It is the process of looking ahead and focusing on actions to solve the problem.

The SMART goals for Pad Up Initiative are:

S-Specific and Strategic,  The Pad Up Initiative is designed to solve the problem of Unhygienic menstrual practices among young girls and women. 
M- Measurable, I and my team are looking to impact about 50 young girls in my community including females with disabilities. At the end of this project, we hope to have an improvement of good health behavior among the girl child.

A- Achievable and Attainable, We will be going to secondary schools and some communities to give proper sensitization on menstrual hygiene Management, we hope to also gift the beneficiaries some pads as a support.

R- Realistic, Responsible and Relevant, Many young girls especially those who are just starting menstruation lack proper awareness and so this initiative will guide them on the journey to an hygiene menstruation and destroy the myth and restriction caused by culture and religion around menstruation.

T- Time bound, This initiative will be starting by August and will run for a month. This is to ensure that both the secondary schoolgirls and community girls as well as disabled females are well impacted.There will also be a question and answer session where the girls will share their experiences on how they felt when they had their first period and how the initiative is relevant in their menstruation journey.

It was an interesting experience to learn and understand the process of bringing a positive change to my community.  Thank you Changemakers team for the informations supplied. Thank you Worldpurse!
