We had in July 2008 given poor girls two schools in Kabondo, Rachuonyo district, Nyanza province Kenya Re-usable sanitary towels donated by an American organization, Goods4Girls. These had never been used before in this area and this donation was a trial on the efficacy of these towels on controlling menstrual flow. The disposable sanitary towels are very expensive to poor village girls some of whom are poor orphans and vulnerable children.
We carried out a survey, a year later to gauge their effectiveness and we can confidently report an overwhelming positive response from the girls. We are appealing to those who may wish to help more of these girls attend school regularly by donating sanitary towels or funds to purchase them to contact me on email:eochanji@yahoo.com.
A survey report was prepared and can be shared withy any interested party.
