VICTORIA RALLY
23.03 - 30.04
Research shows that girls face monthly challenges, with 65% of women and girls in Kenya
unable to afford sanitary pads. In rural areas, many girls use unsanitary forms of protection
such as sand, feathers and leaves causing infections and painful sores. Uganda’s Ministry of
Education reported that, as of 2019, nearly one in every four Ugandan girls between ages 12
to 18 will drop out of school once they begin menstruating.
According to the SHE28 campaign, 18 percent of girls and women in Rwanda missed out on
school and work in 2018 because they could not afford to buy menstrual pads.
According to a 2015 study by TAWASANET Menstruation Health Management, the majority
of girl students – or about 62% – miss school in Tanzania due physical illness that results
from menstruation. Lack of proper education makes some girls exchange dirty sanitary pads
and some even to engage in sexual intercourse to buy basic hygiene products. Period
poverty contributes to global and regional gender inequity.
That's why we're asking for your help today!
At the 23rd of March we are organizing the Victoria Rally. Our goal is to drive across East
Africa, to empower women with a skill of sewing and construction of reusable sanitary pads
and create a long-lasting change, by securing access to affordable and ecological menstrual
products. We will provide sex education classes tailored to the needs of the women and
girls.
To achieve this goal and make sure that all places are selfsufficient we need to purchase
sewing machines, materials and such basic things as underwear and soaps for intimate
hygiene.
We can’t do it without your help !
