Many disabled girls in Tanzania face challenges accessing affordable menstrual hygiene products. This project aims to train 100 disabled girls in the production of reusable period kits. The training will equip them with practical tailoring and entrepreneurship skills. Participants will learn how to make high-quality, reusable sanitary pads for personal use and income generation. The project promotes dignity, health, and economic empowerment among vulnerable girls.
In some parts of Tanzania, disabled girls face barriers to education, employment, and menstrual health management. Many cannot afford disposable sanitary products, leading to school absenteeism and social exclusion. Limited access to menstrual hygiene information increases health risks and stigma. Girls with disabilities are often overlooked in livelihood programs. This creates a cycle of poverty, dependency, and reduced opportunities.
The project will provide hands-on training to 100 disabled girls on making reusable period kits. Participants will receive sewing materials, fabrics, and menstrual health education. Experienced trainers will conduct practical workshops and mentoring sessions. The girls will learn business and marketing skills to sell the products within their communities. The initiative will create sustainable income opportunities while improving menstrual hygiene management.
The project will increase financial independence among disabled girls through income-generating skills. Reusable period kits will improve menstrual health and reduce school absenteeism. Participants will gain confidence, self-esteem, and social inclusion within their communities. Local production of reusable kits will provide affordable menstrual products for vulnerable women and girls. The project will contribute to poverty reduction and gender equality in Tanzania
