Last year, 2017, KVO Ethiopia Chapter provided education of domestically produced alternative sanitary pad for mothers of female students from 5 public schools (Bekelcha, Kenenissa, Derara, Kara-hora and Foka) in Bishotfu area.
Through the education program, 2 nurses from local health center provided education session on personal hygeine, gender-awareness and alternative sanitary pads to 205 parents from 5 public schools(Bekelcha, Kenenissa, Derera, Kara-hora and Foka) in Bishotfu area.
We could help parents better understand and recognize the importance of using alternative sanitary pads and the women health.
We hope Ethiopian female students to grow up in improved, better environment in near future and improve parents' perception on gender awareness.
