Between taboos, myths, and misinformation about menstruation, the ability of girls to manage their menstrual cycle in the best possible conditions is essential for their health, well-being and the development of their full potential. It is with this in mind that our SAHY Program, through its Sexual and Reproductive Health component, addresses the issue of menstrual hygiene and the co-responsibility of all.
Thus, on the occasion of #DayOfTheGirl2020, the Youth Impact Lab had the honor of welcoming 18 young girls from the NGO Manda for a workshop on reusable sanitary napkins – making, given by our Deputy Director, Miora Rakotovao. Through practical learning, sharing of relevant information about menstruation and exchanges, the girls of the NGO Manda – motivated, very meticulous and skillful – quickly mastered the manufacturing techniques!
