VISION & MISSION

An evidence-based approach.

In Africa, particularly in Senegal, women and girls face enormous difficulties during their periods. According to statistics published by the Ministry of National Education in 2013.

  • More than half of primary schools lacked sanitation facilities. 52% of schools were not equipped with toilets and 59% had no access to water.
  • 40% of girls aged 9 to 17 have missed school at least once a week due to a lack of sanitary facilities.
  • This absenteeism has a negative impact on academic performance. In some cases, girls (11.2%) drop out of school because of the challenges they face during their periods.
  • Women lose 40–45% of their income during those five days.

Our approach

Kitambaa aims to provide low-income families with washable sanitary pads at very competitive prices, which would replace disposable pads and help address the issue of keeping girls in school and empowering women.
