Personal Hygiene

For most women and girls, it would be unimaginable to have to cope without sanitary protection. However, for lots of women and girls in Kenya, this is exactly the situation they face every month, due to poverty. Girls in this situation will often have to miss three or four days schooling per month. The effect of this on a girl's dignity cannot be measured.

This project has been supplying sanitary towels since 2010 and has impacted the girls of the Children's Home significantly.

Since then, we have gone on to provide all health and hygiene products for Otacho Christian Children's Home including toothpaste and medicine cabinet supplies.
