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.

This is really great news. Living in a developed country, we often forget and take for granted such simple things like sanitary towels. It's such a given in our everyday lives that we don't even give a second thought about it. Amazing work! Please update us more frequently...would love to hear more!
Hi Eric, I was just thinking about you and thought I would drop by and say Hello. Hope all is well. Feel free to post some of the projects you are working for the children on at The Network Of Helping Hands-Projects & Causes Group.
Take Care my friend,
