In one study of east African girls, over 50% report having missed school because of menstruation. 

In an effort to reduce the number of school days girls miss during menstruation, Volunteers in Peace Corps Rwanda help girls design, make and distribute RUMPs (Reusable Menstrual Pads).

This instructional video produced by Volunteers will be shared through chat apps in the country to help spread the message.
