Sanitary Towel Project
The overall goal of this project is to distribute sanitary pads to young women from impoverished backgrounds in the JTG, Tsantsabane and Thabazimbi municipalities. Identified schools received sanitary towels for distribution. The aim is to assist young women to attend school and perform at their best during their cycle.
The specific project objectives included:
- To minimize the number of days girls missed going to school through providing them with sanitary pads;
- To demystify that menstruation is a curse in the community;
- To empower young women to have the opportunity to participate in their daily activities effectively and meaningfully contribute to their communities; and
- To decrease the psycho-social challenges many young women face in the rural areas.
