Some weeks ago we ran a webinar where we shared details about our local jobs on females health. Our local NGO partners and social entrepreneurs described how the scenario is getting back at harder for women as the accessibility to hygiene pads for a lot of them is not provided (anymore). The circumstance has actually constantly been difficult. Not even if of absence of cash, but also because of superstition, absence of knowledge and taboos. Now with an even bigger lack of job opportunities due to Covid 19, raising rates and lockdowns it has actually ended up being impossible for many women at the hardship to deal with the bleeding in healthy ways.
Thanks for the contributions
Females, arranged in a self-help group in Homabay produced 600 washable menstruation pads. This produced an addition income for them.
To empower 300 females in our communities we gathered likewise private donations from the webinar individuals and doubled the quantity. With nearly 1800 EUR then we prepared 300 women health packages which will be dispersed in Homabay amongst the fisher women, our ladies with albinism in Webuye and girls and women in Langas Slum in Eldoret where we team up with Solasa.
In the females kits we added– besides the washable pads– also two panties each, bar masks, soaps and bags.
The ladies packages are on the roadway
Today the kits are ready and will be transported to the different areas and distributed. Many thanks to all of you who assisted to make this take place!
And unique thanks to our local partner Cavin Odera from WaWa NGO and our driver Francis for having actually made this possible!
