Studio Samuel Launches Girl-Created Menstrual Health App in Ethiopia

Studio Samuel launches Yewer Abeba, a free menstrual health app created by Ethiopian girls to combat school absenteeism. Available in multiple languages on Google Play starting October 11, 2025.

This initiative directly addresses one of the most significant barriers to education for girls in developing countries—menstrual health management. In Ethiopia and many similar regions, period poverty causes millions of girls to miss school days each month, creating educational gaps that often lead to dropping out entirely. By providing culturally appropriate, accessible menstrual health education through mobile technology, Yewer Abeba not only keeps girls in school but also empowers them to become leaders in health advocacy. The long-term impact extends beyond individual education to community transformation, as educated women are more likely to invest in their families' health, pursue economic opportunities, and break cycles of poverty. This approach represents a scalable solution to a global problem affecting millions of adolescent girls worldwide.
