Menstrual Hygiene Book

Through our efforts to distribute sanitary pads, we realized that menstruation is a taboo subject and most girls grow up without the correct information regarding their bodies.

The book is recommended for school girls between the ages of 8 -15years, their teachers, parents and guardians. It is published by the Kenya Literature bureau.

The book covers: Puberty
Menstrual Cycle
How to use a pad
How to dispose pads
How to care for reusable pads
Hygiene
Diet
Pain Management
Myths sorounding menstruation

Our programmes address all aspects of menstrual health and hygiene including policy and advocacy, timely and accurate knowledge about menstruation, social norms around menstruation, access to safe and affordable menstrual hygiene materials, and access to sanitation and washing facilities.
