Meet the Kenyan women helping solve a critical shortage in this essential item
Not having enough money to buy period products is a major problem for women and girls around the world. The Kenyan government is considered a global leader in access to sanitary products repealing added taxes on pads and tampons in 2004, and passing a law in 2017 to make period products free for school girls. And one charity is helping disabled women in the coastal city of Mombasa earn a living by making reusable period pads.
