WHY WE sew washable pads for girls in rural schools
โ
We are committed to empowering young girls through menstrual health education and sustainable solutions. We invite you to join our initiative to create reusable sanitary pads for girls in rural Ghana, ensuring they can attend school with confidence and dignity.
โ
About the Project
Many girls in rural communities miss school due to a lack of access to menstrual hygiene products.
This project aims to provide a sustainable solution by teaching community members how to sew reusable sanitary pads. These pads will help girls manage their periods safely, reduce school absenteeism, and promote menstrual health awareness.
โ

-
Make reusable sanitary pads using locally available materials.
