Reusable Pads for 500 girls across Lagos Slums

The average cost of disposable pads is N500.  How can marginalised young girls afford this monthly without being victims of sexual exploitation?  Giving out sanitary pads is not a sustainable intervention; it is important to train girls to make their own reusable sanitary pads and enable them train others around them.  Only then can we overcome period poverty.  

So far, we have trained 350 girls across government secondary schools in Nigeria.  In celebration of the International Day of the Girl Child, we will be training young girls across slums in Lagos state on reusable pad making.  We look forward to your donation.
