Menstrual Health for our Girls
Coping with menstrual flow has been a great problem for school going girls not only in Kenya but Africa as a whole. It is one of the issues that derails the education of the girl child and leads to school dropout, early pregnancy and early motherhood among girls from challenged family backgrounds. In Mbakalo Ward, three out of ten girls stay away from school during menses for lack of sanitary wear and the stigma that accompanies menstrual flow.
