One million girls miss school in Kenya each month because they cannot afford sanitary pads. We believe that a monthly period shouldn’t be a barrier for girls. It shouldn’t hinder them from attending school or cause embarrassment or shame. At Kujuwa Initiative we train and support young people, families and educators in sexual reproductive health, rights and menstrual hygiene management. We produce and donate reusable sanitary pads by up-cycling fabric waste from our SOKO Kenya clothing factory, enabling girls to manage their periods safely.
