Every day 455 million women and girls will experience menstruation. For many it is a minor inconvenience, but for those living without vital sanitation facilities, menstruation is a monthly struggle. For women in Lamu, the lack of water means that WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) facilities and techniques are often not realised. On top of this, female sanitation remains a difficulty. With a lack of washing and sanitation facilities, women are often led into unhygienic practices during menstruation. In order to deal with the issues of female hygiene in non-sanitised conditions and the use of unhygienic products, AKF and GO have designed a female hygiene kit which will improve the hygiene of women in Lamu. The approach is holistic, by focusing both on female and household hygiene, the kit aims to illustrate the need for hygiene in all aspects of life. The aim is to encourage women to teach their children and families the importance of hand washing, food and household hygiene, whilst improving the female hygiene of the women themselves.
