The Dignity Pad (DP) Initiative
The DP initiative is WODEF’s program targeting to improve sexual reproductive health among young women and girls in Kenya. The initiative focuses on production of Organic Sanitary Pads and Napkins using banana stems/stalks to relieve young women and girls in high poverty-stricken families from heavy financial burden that goes into purchase of conventional sanitary pads. DP aims to improve menstrual health management and hygiene while ensuring that NO girl is absent from school for lack of Sanitary pads. It also focuses on de-radicalizing high stigma levels associated with menstrual management among young women and girls in communities.
