Once again on February this year we were supported by Jenny and Mr. Piet with materials to make renewable sanitary towels. We conducted training to our teenage ladies on how to make the reusable sanitary towels. They appreciated the training and support.
They became creative and came up with a design
to make the product look presentable. they are looking forward to start selling
the reusable sanitary towels to create an income.
Reusable sanitary towels are cost effective
since a lady can be able to reuse them many times. The sanitary towels are made
of cotton which absorbs liquid and a soft non-absorbent material which prevents
leakage. They are comfortable, hygienic and environment friendly.
In Homabay county there have been cases
where girls exchange sex for money in order to afford sanitary towels and other
basic needs. They end up being infected with HIV/AIDs or get pregnant while
still teenagers. Reusable sanitary towels can solve part of the problem.
