Research Funding opportunities - Teaching women and girls to make cloth sanitary pads
Step:
3
Some months ago a discussion started on Nabuur about girls in Kabondo, Kenya not being able to attend school during their period; a common problem in many parts of the developing world. Disposable pads are very expensive and alternatives don't seem to exist for most girls. They often just stay home for the 5-10 days per month that they have they period, rather than be embarrassed. This cuts heavily into their education. ( To see past discussion visit http://www.nabuur.com/en/village/kabondo/project/task/feminine-hygiene-p...)

Year in Review
Sat, 2008/12/27 - 20:54 —Greetings Neighbours!
The end of a year is often a time of reflection and contemplation. It is a time to look back at the year and see what has been accomplished, what lessons can be learned, and what to plan for the future. It is with this in mind that I look back over the past year in Kabondo.

Hello Pastor Fred,
Can you clarify a bit as to what you are looking for here? Are you looking for ideas to attract more visitors to the website or are you looking for someone to review the website and see ways to improve it from a marketing point of view?
If you are looking for was to increase traffic there are a number of things you can do:
1. Start a facebook page and link this page on Nabuur, the page on facebook and your website
2. Join other social networking groups such as Twitter (Maybe Romina knows more about these options....)

I wanted to add some further detail to this task:
In order to help the school manage the large number of orphans that attend and are unable to pay school fees, one of the options that Christopher mentioned was developing a sponsorship program.
We talked about 2 options:
1. The school running their own program.
2. The school working with an existing program to gain support for the orphaned students.

I would just like to take a moment to welcome all the new neighbours to Kabondo and thank all the existing neighbours for their continued contributions!
Eric and the community has been busy recently with visitors to the community and preparing for new ones to come. Recently, Dr. Lucy Steinitz visited Kabondo on behalf of the Stephen Lewis Foundation, to make an assessment for a proposal submitted to the SLF. Next week, some visitors from the University of Western Ontario (Canada) will be visiting as well to discuss some potential projects in the area.
