Menstruation is an additional challenge girls face in the schools we support.
Many cannot afford any pads and simply stay at home when they have their period, meaning they miss a lot of school and fall behind.
Also many schools, and parents, fail to teach girls anything about menstruation.
We are trying to address this by supporting girls clubs and providing with matrons and female staff with suitable low cost resources including films they can show through their projector.
We are also supporting a group to make low cost washable pads to distribute to the girls, but this is a huge challenge as the need is so wide spread.
Thank you again so much for your support.
Best wishes from rural Tanzania.
