"I have always used rags for my menses because my parents can't afford a sanitary pad"
Period poverty generally refers to a situation when girls cannot afford a sanitary pad mostly because of financial constraints. It is a very cogent issue affecting women and girls who don't have access to safe, hygienic sanitary products, and/or who are unable to manage their periods with dignity, sometimes as a result of community stigma.
Period poverty is common among young girls and women in rural areas and unfortunately, the outbreak of Covid-19 has shifted the priorities of many household to how to feed.
These young girls most especially, who cannot afford sanitary pads end up being sad, frustrated, stigmatised and most times they don't go to school because they are unable to take proper care of themselves during their period.
This is why Fadeyi Damilola and her team have taken up the challenge to provide sanitary pads for 1000 young girls in Esan Central LGA of Edo state for a period of one month.
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated in cash and in kind. Help these young girls come back to living a better and a more hygienic life again. It doesn't have to be a huge donation. Any amount will go a long way to put smiles on the faces of these promising young girls of Esan Central LGA.
