Reusable Sanitary Pads Program
"Improving menstrual hygiene of young girls at school and community through training them on how to make reusable sanitary pads"
Sanitary pads making center
We institute training centers for training and making of reusable sanitary pads in selected schools in a community.
Such Centers are managed by our Coordinators who coordinates activities of training, form school clubs and members as learning participants, invite parents, teachers and other practitioners of Menstrual hygiene management into the trainings.
- These centers also make menstrual sanitary pads that support the Period emergency support program for girls who begins to menstruate at school without having access to personal sanitary wears.
Menstrual Hygiene Management Sensitization
This aims to;
- Train adolescent girls in schools on good menstrual hygiene management practices.
- Sensitize the school and community members against period-stigma and frustration on school girls.
