Lack of education and period stigma contribute to missed school days for girls.

This song and animation support the Binti project by delivering clear, age-appropriate education that helps girls stay in school and engaged in learning.

Thank you to the incredibly talented who wrote and performs “Rafiki wa Binti”. 🙏

“From what we hear from the students, the response was very positive. Many of them shared that the pants make them feel more confident throughout the school day, including during lessons and other activities. Another important outcome was improved school attendance. The girls felt comfortable coming to school even during their menstrual cycle, which helps with absenteeism. We also learnt that the sanitary pants are easy to use and maintain. They can be washed and dried openly without embarrassment because they look like normal underwear. This helped reduce fear, shame and stigma.

Overall the Rafiki wa Binti program has made meaningful difference in the lives of our pupils. It has supported their confidence, improved hygiene and ensured that their menstruation does not interrupt their education.”

Right now, 500 Binti Packs (3,000 pairs of period un**es) are on the move, heading somewhere special. 😉

Each pack represents dignity, confidence, and the chance for girls to stay in school without fear or interruption. Fewer missed days. More confidence. More choice about their future.

We can’t wait to show you where they land and the girls whose lives will be changed because of them. 🩷

On Sunday 14th December, a fire ripped through the property of Saum and Sultan, Directors of Rafiki-supported school, PEC Pre and Primary School.

A fire was lit across the road and wind swept embers onto the assembly hall, which was quickly engulfed, along with their own home, and other buildings.

Thankfully no one was injured and much of the school classrooms and boarding house were untouched, but they did lose the assembly hall, kitchen and an office, with all of their most valuable electronic equipment including their laptop, printers and photocopier as well as some computers. Saum and Sultan also lost their own home and all their belongings.

PEC Pre & Primary School provides education for 400 children, including many boarders and 40 underprivileged students supported on scholarship by Rafiki. The school consistently ranks in the top performing primary schools in the whole of Tanzania.

Illham, Yusra, Fatma, Warda and Aneth are children who have faced incredibly hard beginnings, orphaned or coming from disadvantaged backgrounds. The Rafiki family has been honoured to sponsor them to board at PEC Primary School in Kilwa.

Here they are, confidently sharing their thoughts about the Rafiki wa Binti period un**es. PEC School and its dedicated staff played a crucial role in helping us test and refine this project.

Their English, their poise, and their growing confidence are a testament to what nurturing, opportunity, and education can do. We are so proud of them. 🩷
