Give every woman access to basic menstrual hygiene

Basic menstrual hygiene is a crucial part of a woman’s well-being and dignity, which every woman should have access to.

However, many women from low-income families in Tanzania don’t have that, due to the lack of access and the high cost of these sanitary towels.

As a result of this, many women fail to carry out their daily activities in hygienic conditions and thus endanger their health and well as those of others.
