Stop period poverty and school drop-out for 260 young girls
All over the world, it’s clear that period poverty leads to girls dropping out of school, especially in marginalized and rural areas such as around Arusha, north-east Tanzania. Taboos, ignorance and misconceptions directly hinder girls’ education. Not to mention the use of inappropriate sanitary protection that can even be harmful for health when you’re poor…
Sewing workshops to make hygiene kits. Together with our charity partner, we can teach 260 young girls to make their own reusable menstrual pads from high-quality absorbent terry cloth.
This project will cover for the manufacture of 1,040 pads that can be washed more than 100 times.
Total budget: €6,000

The achievement in image
UPDATE 12/05/2025 - This project has helped 260 girls at Irkisongo boarding school in the rural district of Monduli! Our local charity partner rushed to provide them with reusable towels before they started their exams in mid-May. Irikisongo is a government-run boarding school that actually accommodates over 1,600 girls and was set up to protect them from early marriage, as many parents in the community still consider marriage and the bride price to be more valuable than education. Unfortunately, most of these girls do not receive essential school supplies, such as sanitary towels, from their parents… Your donations to this project made a change.
