Persons of Influence takes cognizant of the Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) barriers School-aged girls in remote parts of Nyandarua grapple with as they lack the necessary facilities, supplies, knowledge, and understanding of menstruation and the menstruation cycle. This has an ultimate negative impact on the girls’ access and retention in school.
Today, 30 girls from Njabini were trained on how to make reusable sanitary pads from safe and locally available materials and menstruation cycle tracking bracelets. The fun filled training saw everyone sew their own sanitary pad and bracelet from scratch.
