Summary
Girls' Pride Gambia held a Funneh Board Game competition at Alliance Francaise, concluding a project promoting menstrual health and gender-based violence awareness, funded by the French Embassy. The interschool event evaluated the initiative's impact, with Future Generation Senior Secondary winning. Ten schools participated, receiving gifts and certificates. The project, part of the #Play2Educate initiative, reached 880 students and 35 teachers across 35 schools, fostering peer education on menstrual health and SGBV. Officials praised the project’s success and called for its integration into the national curriculum to combat stigma, reduce absenteeism, and promote supportive, informed school communities.
