Inspire Her club brings menstrual equity work to Lehigh Valley
A Lehigh graduate student adapted a Ghanaian nonprofit model to tackle menstrual poverty and promote women's health locally.
Sandra Boakye, ’29G, noticed similar challenges around women’s health and menstrual equity in Ghana and the Lehigh Valley and launched the Inspire Her club to drive change locally. What began as a nonprofit in Ghana to end menstrual poverty and raise awareness of women’s health was brought to the Lehigh Valley with the aim of combating menstrual inequity on campus and in the surrounding community.
