For PopTech Social Innovation Fellow and ZanaAfrica Group founder Megan White Mukuria, the key to creating opportunities for girls across East Africa is rooted in their gaining access to health education and sanitary pads. Without them, 4 out of 5 girls will miss school. With them, the effects are overwhelmingly positive. She shares updates on the organization’s impact, demonstrating that she and the young women she is reaching are creating a movement where connection with their bodies and each other gives them the power to seize their futures.
