Challenge

In North Kivu's conflict zones, displaced women and girls struggle with menstrual health due to limited resources, lack of hygiene supplies, and poor facilities. Many use unsafe alternatives, increasing infection risk. The project provides reusable hygiene kits, education on safe practices, and income-generating skills to empower these girls, improving their health, dignity, and economic independence.

Solution

This project tackles menstrual health challenges in North Kivu by providing displaced girls with reusable hygiene kits and education on safe practices. Monthly awareness sessions will break menstruation taboos, fostering support. Vocational training in manufacturing menstrual products empowers girls economically, enabling them to produce and sell affordable supplies. A cooperative will ensure ongoing income, promoting self-sufficiency and dignity in managing menstrual health..

Long-Term Impact

This project empowers displaced girls with sustainable menstrual health solutions and income-generating skills. Through education on reusable hygiene practices, girls learn to manage their health safely. Training in producing and selling menstrual products fosters economic independence, reducing aid reliance. The project's cooperative will sustain income opportunities and supply hygiene products, promoting dignity, resilience, and self-sufficiency in the community.
