Location: Velserbroek, Netherlands
Summary
Menstruation is taboo within most rural families in Burkina Faso. The available disposable protection for menstruation are very costly, of poor quality and not biodegradable. The consequences of those facts are many: lost of dignity/self-esteem, absence from school, health problems, and work difficulty. We propose to make 50 sexual education presentations in schools and for women's associations. We would also like to offer 2.000 washable menstruation kits for poor girls/women.
