Wednesday - Gender - "If everyone could donate sanitary towels then a woman would be happy , wouldn't they?"

Today i also spoke to Olwethu Founder and Coordinator for The Red Wings Project . 

The Red Wings Project is an initiative aimed at highlighting the lack of sanitation and misery of disadvantaged women unable to access adequate sanitary products and care.

“9 million girls aged between 13 and 19 miss a week of school every month for lack of sanitation.”

“The cost of sanitary ware and towels is beyond the reach of most young women and girls, who in Africa are the majority of the unemployed and those living in poverty. Most girls end up not going to school, because they cannot afford to buy sanitary ware.”THIS IS HOW
