Health and hygiene for rural girls and women in Zimbabwe



I founded The Tsholotsho MOBILE library initiative  (T-MOBILE ),a non-profit , to promote literacy, education for living and acssess to information within marginalized rural communities. Through  the women's health and hygiene department  I am currently working on teaching  women and girls how to design and produce renewable sanitary pads. This is inspired by my country's current dire economic situation.It aims to promote health and hygiene I marginalized rural communities .Women will also be able to save on whatever meagre income the acquire as commercial sanitary pads are expensive.  The challenges  we mainly include financial problems in an unstable economy and transport issues as some  of the villages are very remote.our reach , if  challenges  are removed is expected to be at around 200000 villagers,youths and school children.
