A female  member of National Youths Service Corp serving in Kogi State identified as Omotunde Blessing Tolulope has trained 500 school female girls on how to make reusable sanitary pads


Omotunde, who is serving at Kogi state college of nursing and midwifery, obangede, Kogi in a chat withNews Punch said she took upon herself to train the girls as her personal community development service project considering the challenges posts by the high cost of a sanitary pad in the market. 


She said so many young ladies engage in so many unhealthy practices in lieu of the unaffordable sanitary pads in the market


The training which News Punch learned took place on 29th and 30th of June 2017 at at some selected secondary school.


The beneficiary schools are; community secondary school obangede, iliasu-atta memorial group of school, okaito and Government Girls unity secondary school, oboroke. All of which are under okehi local government area in kogi state.


The girls were very happy to have her in their school, many admitted to their inability to buy pads, as it is now expensive. They were taught how to take good care of their body and vagina, after which materials were handed out to them and a reasonable no were able to complete their pad at the time of training.


The aim of the project was achieved, the girls expressed their appreciation and asked her to visit again.  She promised to come back soon, as She'll be celebrating international day of the girls with them, when She'll discuss:

Girls Progress= Goal's Progress: What Counts For Girls.

well, its better than those who did nothing, like manly Mr A & B. They keep shaming us.

By d way do girls dis young wear sanitary pads, this is the first am hearing of dis woh


But wait woh, miss copper u dey use recycle one as well, are sanitary pads that expensive. since it has to do with hygiene i think disposables will be better after all most parents prefer pampers to nampkin

those young girl's are aged 13 and above, they've started menstruating. many of them have been using cloths as always is now 400 and above, which they can't afford.
Here we are making use of availables, if I am opportuned to share always or lady care, after giving them one which contains 8pad, what happens the next month they can't buy it?
developing nations are starting to adopt the idea of reusable pads, we have to recognise the fact that poverty is real in some places. washing and sun drying will go a long way. with 500naira, they can make 2 pads for themselves.
