Empowering Women and Girls: A Project of Dignity and Opportunity
We are thrilled to share a glimpse of Africa Oasis' recent venture in Kenya, focused on menstrual hygiene management. The project aims to empower young girls to manage their monthly cycles with dignity, ensuring that they can continue their education without disruption. We firmly believe that the best solutions are born out of community input, which is why we partnered with remarkable Kenyan women leaders to discuss a reusable sanitary napkin design.
Local Wisdom for Sustainable Solutions
We understand the importance of incorporating local perspectives in creating long-lasting solutions. By collaborating with our Kenyan sisters, we were not just creating a product; we were generating an ecosystem of self-reliance and community upliftment.
A Multipurpose Initiative
This menstrual hygiene management project is not merely a charitable endeavor. It is designed as a micro-enterprise initiative where women are taught to produce these sanitary napkins. They can then sell these products in their communities, creating an economically viable cycle that uplifts everyone involved.
Working Hand-in-Hand with Local Churches
Our faith-based mission drives us to serve with compassion and respect. Partnering with local churches ensures that our projects are attuned to the unique needs and cultural sensitivities of the communities we serve.
We are filled with hope and anticipation for the change it will bring to the lives of many young girls and women in Kenya.
