About this project
Annastacia N. from Green Households Initiatives is responsible for this project
Research conducted on girl-child school performance in Machakos County (Kenya) has shown that the performance of girls from well up families is relatively high when compared to that of girls from low income or no income families.
A girl from a poor background is found to miss school on an average of 3 days/month and during the days when she has her menses.
A girl needs a least one packet of commercial sanitary pads/month which costs Euro 3. For an average household (which survives on less than one dollar/day) this is too much and not many parents put this on their budget lists.
This has resulted to the poor girls using cuttings from old clothes. These Improvised cloth-pads are not only unhygienic but they also do not ensure 100% leakage-free and are uncomfortable. These vulnerable girls absent themselves from school and lack self-confidence when socializing with the rest during their menses days. This effectively lowers their school performance when compared to their counterparts.
Your kind donation of Euro 5 Euro or more will enable Green Households Initiatives (GHI) to purchase and facilitate distribution of one packed of I-Care Reusable Sanitary pads to the school girls. One pack of these pads is designed to service one girl for a whole year and enable her stay in the classroom for the whole academic year.
