Most of them stay out of school in fear of shame or use rugs and unhygienic methods to solve this problem and out of desperation for supplies allow men to exploit them. Girls are determined to excel in their education and this can be achieved if their dignity can be restored through health education and the provision of sanitary towels.
We stand to raise awareness about the challenges regarding education about menstruation, access to menstrual products and friendly sanitation facilities in schools.
Health education will break the silence about menstruation in the villages and girls will be respected. The menstruation period will not be perceived as being unclean or taboo to speak about but as something that makes women be women. Girls will be free to talk about menstruation and shame will be no more. The most important thing is that the girls will easily access washable towels and will always be comfortable wherever they are because the kits last 3 years of secondary school
