Many schools don’t have latrines, where girls can take care of themselves during their periods, and beyond that, most girls in poor countries don’t have access to — nor can they afford — reusable pads or tampons. Without feminine hygiene products, many girls skip school while on their periods. That means they miss up to a week of school every month, so girls fall behind and eventually drop out. Alternatively, some girls make their pads using products that can be unhygienic or even dangerous, such as newspaper, grass, hay, or cow dung.

To help ensure periods don’t mark the end of a girl’s schooling, Raising a Girl to the World, Inc., we are organizing a project to create reusable sanitary pads and bags.

This initiative provides a sustainable and practical solution, helping to improve the well-being of women and girls in the community.
