Reusable menstrual pad workshops in the southern province

Students demonstrating lessons learnt

Volunteer Marie organized and facilitated her first reusable menstrual pad making activity with students at a government secondary school in her community. She then engaged with five of the ten secondary schools and primary schools in the southern province to teach female students how to make sustainable and reusable sanitary pads. Marie and the students used plastic from empty water bottles, cotton fabric, and absorbent materials to create the sanitary pads.
