Hi Eric,
Can you please put together a small and brief bugdet for this project - maybe to start with just a small group of girls/women? We need a bit better idea of the cost to train a small group. Then maybe one of the girls/women will express an interest in starting a small business, which we could submit to Kiva.
What do you think?
The items to include in the training budget would include:
1. Sewing needles
2. Cotton fabric
3. Snaps or buttons
4. Honorarium for the instructor

Sanitary pads for female students

For many girls at Notre Dame High School, going to school during a monthly menstrual cycle is not possible without feminine hygiene products such as sanitary pads. Disposable pads are expensive and many simply cannot afford these.
There are alternative options for making reusable, cloth sanitary pads. For this task, we would like your input and information on different options available so that we can explore a solution that can be easily implemented with the girls at our school.

Hi Everyone,
Here is the report for the pilot project we held in Kabondo. It is in a PowerPoint to keep it simple, as already mentioned. Please comment and feel free to ask questions. We hope this will prove to be a valuable bit of information for future projects and to help secure funding.
Thanks,
Barb
