Yewer Abeba (which means “monthly flower” in Amharic) is a free menstrual health education app designed by girls, for girls. Created in partnership with Studio Samuel Girls Academy in Ethiopia, it provides trusted, accessible information on menstruation, health, and wellbeing—helping adolescent girls break myths, build confidence, and take control of their futures.

For too many girls, periods mean missed school, shame, or even dropping out altogether. Yewer Abeba changes that reality by putting education and empowerment directly into their hands—no matter where they live or what resources they have.

Why Yewer Abeba is Different?
• Free for All: 100% free to download and use.
• Works Offline: Once downloaded, no internet connection is needed—making it reliable even in areas with limited access.
• No Data Collection: Girls’ privacy is protected. The app never collects or shares personal information.
• Community-Built: Content was shaped by adolescent girls, local educators, and health professionals to ensure cultural sensitivity and accuracy.

Features:
• Trusted Health Education: Clear, age-appropriate explanations about menstruation, reproductive health, and self-care.
• Myth-Busting Facts: Culturally sensitive responses that address taboos and misconceptions.
• Guided Learning: Kalkidan, the app’s friendly avatar, leads users through lessons in an approachable, encouraging way.
• Accessible Design: Simple navigation and visual storytelling make the app easy to use for learners of all reading levels.
• Multi-Language Expansion: Currently available in Amharic, English, Afaan Oromo, and Tigrinya with upcoming translations into Swahili, French, and Portuguese for broader African reach.

Impact:
Yewer Abeba is part of Studio Samuel’s larger mission to empower girls through education and skills training. By 2035, our goal is to reach 1,000,000 girls with access to menstrual health education, training, and resources. Every download brings us closer to ending period poverty and ensuring no girl misses school because of her period.

Who Can Use It?
• Adolescent Girls: The primary audience, with engaging, supportive content.
• Parents & Caregivers: To better understand menstruation and support daughters.
• Educators & Health Workers: As a tool to reinforce classroom or community health education.
