563 Girls Reached in One Day with Menstrual Health Education!
This Monday, WAJAMAMA had the exciting opportunity to educate over 500 girls on menstrual health and hygiene in a single afternoon. In collaboration with the Zanzibar Maisha Bora Foundation (ZMBF), chaired by the First Lady of Zanzibar, Her Excellency Mama Maryam Mwinyi, and the Ministry of Education, WAJAMAMA workshop facilitators traveled to rural Kijini. Here, we taught teenage girls from two different local schools about the menstrual cycle, after which we distributed reusable pads, and closed with a speech by the First Lady.
