Many schools in rural areas in Tanzania have insufficient numbers of latrines, which are often poorly designed and maintained. For girls who are menstruating, these problems compound the difficulties posed by the inability to afford sanitary pads as well as cultural taboos around menstruation. As a result, many girls miss on average four days of school every month which is over a month in a year.
The organization is well aware of how challenging it is for poor families to afford sanitary pads for their girls in ensuring that they go to school with confidence when menstruating. To help tackle such challenges, the organization opted to provide reusable sanitary pads that are more compelling to the girls because they are hygienically approved, affordable, high-quality, and reusable.
Under the current reporting period, the organization provided 10 girls with additional reusable sanitary pads through donations on this platform. The organization continues to provide counseling activities for these girls, their teachers, and their parents.
We are grateful to our partners and friends who donated their hard-earned cash towards this project through this platform. Together, we're keeping girls in school in rural Tanzania.
