“Any woman or girl of reproductive age will agree that a comfortable way of managing their menstrual flow is a basic necessity.”
That quote comes from the African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) website.

I guess when you read and hear the testimonies from girls across the country it begins to sink in more and more.
Interestingly though is that the sanitary pads are not that expensive, but when you come from an income of less than a $1 a day then it surely does not come up as a priority. Local Kenyan prices range from anywhere between less than $1 to $2.50 and at times even more depending on the brand and where one is purchasing from.
