Organization information
Bupilo Foundation
Location: Lusaka, Zambia
Summary
In September 2021, the Basizana Project launched with 300 beneficiaries in Central Province Zambia. This year, 2022 the project is expanding to the Western Province to impact 1000 beneficiaries. On average, rural girls miss about 20% of school days annually due to lack of menstrual supplies and often missing exams or performing poorly as a result of their absenteeism during their period. The Basizana Project aims to address this issue by providing sustainable reusable pads to the beneficiaries.
