Every month, more than 5 million girls in South Africa alone risk their health and education due to a lack of access to basic personal hygiene products like sanitary towels. The lack of menstrual hygiene products inflicts an indignity upon these millions of young girls who continue to experience a menstrual cycle with no clean materials to manage the period in a dignified manner with some girls using socks filled with sand, leaves and old newspaper.
At Warriors of Hope we realized the urgent need to address these societal issues and developed a community project where members from marginalized communities manufacture re-usable sanitary towels.
