REUSABLE CARE CREATIONS

Schoolgirls in Ghana who can’t afford to buy disposable sanitary pads miss five days of school per month on average.
That’s three months a year! This means they fall behind in a way they can never catch up.
many women wno cant arrora to puy sanitary toweis cant go to work auring tneir perioa, which means they miss out on income. Also, disposable sanitary towels have a huge impact on the environment.

The project goals are:

• To introduce washable sanitary products like washable sanitary towels, washable nappies
  for chilldren and washable napples for adults, and to distribute them and make them easily accessible to large target groups in Ghana,
• To reduce taboos surrounding personal hygiene and to reduce the reluctance to use sanitary products.
• To reduce physical and social limitations people are subject to due to the lack of good sanitary products.
• To reduce the environmental impact of disposable nappies and sanitary towels.
• To offer women with a physical disability the chance to participate fully and equally in society by giving them a job that allows them to use their knowledge and skills of sewing and to improve their own lives and futures.
