With the support of minazi consulting, the Women Environmental Action at Dufatanye team trained how to protect the environment by transforming banana fibers into pads.
Currently many girls miss 5 - 7 days per month of school due to menstruation and this is because they are not able to afford sanitary pads, which makes them to use other options that are uncomfortable and unsanitary. This has led many of them to drop out of school, develop health complications and live with shame. It is unfair that the hope for a bright future for these girls is repressed due to lack of access to tools and knowledge concerning their reproductive heath
This, will ensure that our girls do not lose their productive days at school, gain understanding about their sexual and reproductive health, and provide economic development to the local community through job creation. WEAD distributed 1500pads to 500 people.
We are grateful for the generous support from the amazing team at minazi consulting who bring wealth of experience and technical skills to this project
We thank the donors for their support and request them to continue advocating and supporting communities to work and to develop.
God bless you
