Dear Esteemed Friends &Partners,
Hundreds of teenage girls and young adults through your generous contribution are benefiting from sanitary pads. Your donations are making girls keep clean. It makes girls attend the school regularly during monthly periods. Many girls who can’t afford sanitary pads stay home every months for lack of sanitary pads. Other girls use old cloths and cartons or sponges that sometimes cause infections because they can’t afford them because of poverty.
We are empowering vulnerable girls in Githogoro slum in Nairobi with sanitary pads. Helping girls overcome Period poverty through sanitary pads is transformative. Many girls due to lack of sanitary pads miss school 4 to 6 days per month. Reusable pads are proving to be a more sustainable means of helping many girls manage Period Poverty. Period Poverty is inability to afford and access menstrual products, sanitation and hygiene facilities and education and awareness to manage menstrual health.
