Support 2000 Kenya school girls with reusable pads

The progress with this project is impressing.  The 2 women who went for training in Uganda last year have been training their colleagues on production of quality sanitary towels from the skills they gained during their 2 weeks training.  We are happy that the women are now more interested in production of these sanitary pads thus helping them improve their skills, earn income and as well improve their livelihoods.  On the other hand, the beneficiaries have expressed their satisfactory with the sanitary pads where they say that the pads are comfortable, protective and easy to clean thus giving them more confidence.  We will be conducting monitoring and evaluation in February where we will interview the school girls on their experience with the recyclable pads.  We will also interview their teachers to find out if girls’ class attendance and performance have improved.   The Karunga women have been producing the sanitary pads and they have them ready for marketing and we are preparing to purchase 100 sets from them in February 2018 to be distributed to a school in Ndoinet another rural school in Nakuru County Kuresoi Sub-County where majority of the community are indigenous Ogiek from East Mau.  The community is vulnerable and in remote area where they have little exposure.  We hope to benefit 100 girls with sanitary pads for one school and later distribute more to another school also in the Ndoinet.  We are very happy for this project and we sincerely appreciate the support given by all our well-wishers who have generously contributed to this project.   Thank you all for your generosity as we encourage you to continue supporting our vulnerable girls and women.  We wish you a prosperous year 2018.
