CARD Ghana Menstrual Health Facility (MHF) Initiative
Cooperative Agency for Research and Development (CARD Ghana) is pleased to present the CARD Ghana Menstrual Health Facility (MHF) Initiative — an innovative and sustainable menstrual hygiene infrastructure model designed to provide safe, dignified, hygienic and girl-friendly menstrual health support systems within schools, communities, health facilities and institutions.
Across many underserved communities, thousands of girls continue to face serious challenges during menstruation due to:
- lack of private and hygienic washrooms,
- inadequate water supply,
- poor sanitation systems,
- absence of changing rooms,
- unsafe disposal practices,
- limited emergency menstrual support,
- and menstrual stigma within schools and communities.
These challenges contribute significantly to:
- school absenteeism,
- emotional distress,
- reduced participation,
- poor hygiene practices,
- and loss of dignity and confidence among adolescent girls and women.
In response, CARD Ghana has developed the Menstrual Health Facility (MHF) as a comprehensive infrastructure solution that combines:
- female-friendly washrooms,
- changing rooms,
- mechanized boreholes,
- poly/concrete water storage systems,
- handwashing stations,
- menstrual waste disposal systems,
- environmentally safe sanitation systems,
- and emergency menstrual support corners.
The facility is designed to promote:
- menstrual dignity,
- adolescent well-being,
- safe hygiene management,
- reproductive health support,
- school retention,
- gender equality,
- and improved public health outcomes.
The MHF Initiative aligns with:
- SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-Being,
- SDG 4 – Quality Education,
- SDG 5 – Gender Equality,
- SDG 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation,
- and SDG 10 – Reduced Inequalities.

Why This Initiative Matters
Every girl deserves:
- privacy,
- dignity,
- safe water,
- hygienic sanitation,
- emotional confidence,
- and a supportive environment during menstruation.
No girl should miss school, suffer shame or lose confidence because basic menstrual hygiene infrastructure is unavailable.
The CARD Ghana Menstrual Health Facility Initiative seeks to create safe and dignified environments where girls and women can manage menstruation confidently, safely and respectfully.
