Feminine Hygiene
Access to Menstrual Products and Health Education
All our programs routinely provide women and girls with reusable menstrual products, no matter what the project is. Allowing them to manage their menstrual cycle safely & with dignity.
Each kit is reusable for 5 years.
Providing:
Long term relief from having to hide away 1 week per month. Therefore enabling full time education & employment opportunities.
Not having to put themselves in a vulnerable position of asking male family members for money to buy sanitary products, who often require ‘payment in kind’.
What’s in our reusable menstruation kits?
(see below)
Here’s Brenda showing us what is inside the kit and it’s purpose.
Training Women in Sewing
WHISCA’s Women’s Micro-Enterprise project empowers women tailors to develop their skills through workshops on creating and selling reusable menstrual product kits.
This model grants women economic opportunities while providing sustainable menstrual hygienic solutions for communities.
Kits made in the program go directly to young women across Kenya.
Empowering women and ending stigma around menstruation
Teach women how to sew and sell Menstrual Health Management kits
Public workshops on reproductive health and Healthy Bodies
Encouraging open conversations about health
Without proper hygiene supplies, women and girls battle social stigma that keeps them from participating fully in school, work and community life.
Granting Days of Education, Safety and Dignity
Khayanga hands out kits and boxers to local students.
Feminine Hygiene Kits allow girls to overcome the barriers of social stigma.
In 3 years of use, these kits give back up to 6 months of living.
That’s 180 days of education, safety, and dignity.
