Sewing will get completed this week

The four seamstresses making the reusable pad kits have completed making 160 out of 230 kits. The image shows Elizabeth - one of the seamstresses - working on the shields.

Kenya Connect anticipates that the seamstresses will finish sewing the remaining 70 kits by the end of this week. They will then spend the next couple of weeks cleaning the completed pads, ironing them, and packaging them ready for distribution at the end of May.

Meanwhile, schools in Wamunyu are reopening. Kenya Connect staff members will begin training the girls about menstrual hygiene and about the Wings Poa reusable pads over the next two weeks or so.
