2020/2021 Update from our Deaf Women's Empowerment Group. Issues relating to living through COVID and isolation in Nepal are discussed along with the unique challenges being Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing in Nepal. Access to sanitary protection and hygiene education is a basic human right.
This life-transforming kit is continuing to be sewn by TRIFC’s Deaf Women’s Empowerment Group and is distributed to girl students with disabilities throughout Nepal along with extensive hygiene information by our trained and certified Nepali staff. Many distributions have now been completed in the Kathmandu Valley and our trainers are moving into more rural areas where the societal stigma surrounding menstruation is oppressive. These kits provide the students with a safe, hygienic and reliable product which will allow them to attend school every day during their period.
