Manja Mu Manja (Hand in Hand)
With aid from PCV Amy Burke I brought Pad Project to my local secondary school, which is an intervention that teaches girls to hand sew re-usable sanitary napkins and go through a reproductive health, hygiene and sanitation lesson. After circulating the date and time of the intervention, (and that the capacity was only 25 learners) I was astounded to see that over 40 girls showed up on Sunday to make the pads, and I had to turn them away at the door for lack of materials! It was a full two hours of girls talking about cultural myths, their periods, shouting “menstruation” and creating something that will help them stay in school without embarrassment during their monthlies. To say I was happy and fulfilled after the session would be an understatement!
