Hygiene Care Packages

Below are information about the our hygiene care package project.


What is the hygiene care package project all about?
This is a project whereby we partner with manufacturers of sanitary products dispensing machines and manufacturers and sellers of sanitary towels to gift their products to us, so that we can provide FREE sanitary towels to vulnerable women & girls.

The dispensing machines and the sanitary towels are to be placed in strategic locations in our communities where those who need them can access them. Such locations include schools, bus/train stations and other strategic places within our communities.

Why is there a need for the hygiene care Project?
There are many reasons and factors contributing to the inability of women & girls to be able to afford to buy sanitary towels.
Many women resort to using toilet roll paper, adhoc fabrics or rags or other materials to manage their mentruation. It is not only embarrasing but can evoke a feeling of shame, undermine their sense of self worth and reduce many to tears. Monthly period is a matter every woman faces. It is not an easy experience, not to mention pre-menstrau pain, pro-menstrual pain & discomfort and post-mentrual pain for some women & girls. To cope with all that and still not have the necessasry tool to manage themselves is not good at all.

May girls skip school during their period because they do not have money to buy sanitary towels. That has a grave impact on their learning ability and their educational preparedness for the future. Surely in the 21st Century, we as a society can do better for our women & girls.
Here are some of the reasons why so many cannot afford to buy this towels:
  • Poverty: Lack of funds.
  • The products are expensive and gets more expensive by the day.
  • Many women are in unemployment, some are homeless & some are destitute.
  • Lack of access to free sanitary towels in schools or at the hospitals even.
  • Lack of access to free places to get FREE sanitary towels to go or request one.
  • Many feel ashamed to beg or ask for free towels.
  • Some governments have placed VAT on sanitary towels...

What is the cost of the hygiene care package Project?
Sanitary towels are expensive everywhere in the world, even in the most developed world. Prices can be prohibitive.
In the UK, the prices vary from £1:50 to £3:00 per pack, and women often required several packs each month.
In the United States of America, prices vary from $3.99 to $9.99
In the European Union, prices vary from €7 to €13
In the third world such as India cost varies from to ₹150 to ₹350
In Kenya for example, prices varies from to 65KES to 208KES.

All the places where these products should be provided FREE to society do not have them at all. As such women & girls are at a great disadvantage within society. Their dignity is compromised and their sense of self value impaired. Weare committed to see changes in this area of life.
