I’m working on a project very much like this in Guatemala. Such a big problem ghe or girl’s and women world wide. I’m wondering where you got your design for the pad. Are you willing to share? Please continue to advocate for girl’s of all ages.

There is some good news to come from this Linda – you can help keep 540 girls in school as well as provide education courses for boys and girls to help combat taboos around menstruation. Donate to our crowdfunding campaign here.

A good point Liz. That’s why we are running our crowdfunding campaign to provide girls with reusable sanitary products as well as education programs in schools. That way boys and girls can learn about menstruation and help combat local taboos. Check out our crowdfunding efforts here – https://chuffed.org/project/pads

All the best,
CARE Australia.
