Keep girls in school
According to UNESCO, 1 in 10 girls in Africa miss school every month because of their periods, and girls from poor families in Kenya miss 20% of the school year due to the lack of access to sanitary products.
BCT are supporting the production and distribution of 1,000 reusable and environmentally friendly sanitary kits as well has 30,000 reusable masks. Our partners on the ground have recently set up a tailoring unit which will allow for this upscale production. Training is also being provided to girls on the usage of the kits, as well as educating them on reproductive health.
