The project aims at teaching 2500 girls from rural areas in Tanzania how to make their own reusable sanitary pads using locally available materials. The project will provide girls with a sustainable, affordable, and eco-friendly alternative to disposable menstrual products. On top of that, it will not only help girls in managing their periods with dignity, but also educate them about sustainability, health, and hygiene, and encourage them to take responsibility for their own well-being.
