By Peace SARAMBE | Executive Director, Fondation BARKA, Burkina Faso
We have two updates for you dear donors.
First, after the menstrual cup pilot project we completed last year, Fondation BARKA conducted four Focus groups with the pilot project participants to better understand how cups were being used over the long term. It gave us really relevant data to help develop the next phase of the project expansion. We've also brought in Innovation for Poverty Action (IPA), a large and reputable NGO, to help design the research aspect of the forthcoming project.
Secondly, Fondation BARKA is starting a new Menstrual Health Program in Fada High Schools in January. Our 4 female project leaders will raise awareness on the taboo subject in order to educate girls in schools. We will also distribute locally made reusable sanitary pads to more than a thousand girls.
Please consider making a donation today to support these important endeavors. Barka!
