SANITARY PADS FOR THE GIRLS
Remember it can be estimated that a girl uses
21 pads a term
63 pads a term
252 pads a year
Hence the annual 252 km walk for sanitary pads for the girls.
We walk 252 km in 10 days and we use that as a way to share information about menstruation and how parents can BE better equipped to have comfortable conversations with their daughters with any shame.
We use the walk to get more men and fathers to support mothers in issues associated with menstruation, contraceptive and anything to do with the reproductive system.
The main discussion is always about the girls using their power to prosper and to achieve their goals in life.
They have a bright future, and they possess the power to control the direction of their journey.
And a simple Sanitary pad should aid in making sure that the girls never get to miss a single day of school due to their period and they will have a happy period
MCC - building communities together and helping one girl at a time.
The fight against period poverty continues
We are still going for gold!
We want our girls to be empowered; embrace their womanhood and enjoy their monthly periods.
5 pads per girl will make sure that one girl never misses a day of school in the school calendar.
Come on people - let’s get together and fight against period poverty!
We have strong beautiful girls with soooo much potential, but miss school due to their periods.
Let’s change that and provide pads for them.
