The main purpose of this project is to help provide teenage girls and young women in Kisumu Slams with sanitary towel. As you probably know, in Kisumu slams young girls will often share their sanitary towels (usually scrap cloth) with their mothers or other women in the household. Of course they are washed thoroughly between uses, but venereal diseases can be transmitted through sharing in spite of that. Also, the study shows that most of these underprivileged girls miss school for at least four days each month over menstruation. These issues are not talked about in Kisumu, due to embarrassment, lack of understanding and the low priority of such problems in the face of starvation, violence, death, illiteracy and the many struggles of daily life. You can prevent this by sending money to purchase these vital items locally or sending sanitary pads to our sanitary pad bank!!! Sanitary towel and underwear cost $5 USD and can be used in a clean healthy way for one month. For a mere $60 USD you can sponsor a girl for a year and ensure that she has always has her own sanitary towels and underwear. NB: Nyalenda,Manyatta,Obunga,Kaloleni,Bandani,Manyatta arabs all this slams are along the lake victoria. The target is to reach out to 5 000 families surviving with $2 per day https://youtu.be/Med5a1AVwe0?si=pZNDLuARZOKxYsvy
