What we do
In developing countries, most women and girls living in poverty cannot afford to buy female sanitary products. They are forced to resort to unhygienic alternatives such as rags, foams or dried leafs, resulting in various health risks. In Nigeria, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas, a lot of girls have to miss school for about 4 – 5 days during their period each month. As a result of so much absenteeism, they cannot complete their education. Most families living on less than a Dollar a day cannot afford to buy western sanitary pads of about $1.2 for their 2 – 4 girls as they are too expensive.
