Many girls / women in Burkina Faso do not have fund to buy protection when they have their menstruations. They will use rags or stay at home.
Unfortunatly for those who have cash to buy a protection, the quality of those is very poor. They are coming from China and contain recycled carton which has poor absorbtion. Women can get infection from them. Some of them even have a mint smell.
A pack of protection costs 0,84 US$ good for one month in average. This is 10US$ per year.
The alternative is a washable protection kit which costs 15US$ but can last more than 3 years if well maintain.
Specially in rural area, women / girls do not have this kind of money available.
Thanks to spread the word about this project so that we can reach our goal of 2.000 girls / women with a proper protection.
Thank you.
