Today in Kenya menstruation is not only a health concern, but also an educational policy concern, and has become a key factor in the country’s bid to achieve the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) of eliminating gender disparity in primary and secondary education.
The project aims to;
Reduce the girl child school dropout due to lack of sanitary towels
Educate teenage girls on puberty, hygiene menstruation and how to physically and psychologically handle such periods.
Sustain marginalized girls with annual packs of sanitary pads and underwear’s to ensure periods do not get in their way of achieving an education.
Eliminate through informing, the myths, taboos and misinformation that people in such communities have about girls during their menstrual period.
Girls Pad Project is operating under JSL Baraka Foundation a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization and all donations and gifts are tax deductible as allowed by law.
