Introduction
Girls are experiencing high levels of stigma and can miss as much as a quarter of the school year, a fact which maintains the high levels of gender inequality and poverty in Zimbabwe. Girls in Africa continue to suffer due to something as small as to lack of adequate intimate sanitation, a household product which is often cut out in times of poverty.
Report
Providing teachers, and the girls themselves with the skills to make reusable pads, the project is being established in a sustainable manner, rather than to simply buy pads which would be an ongoing cost. The skills would further be transferable and be able to assist in other income-generating initiatives.
