The Sanitary Health And Reproductive Education (SHARE) program began in 2008 as a response to an urgent need for feminine hygiene products to be available in Western Kenya.

Launching the project in Kenya in December 2008, Kenya Aid will provide 23 girls at a local secondary school, the Musango Non-Formal Secondary School, with 3 reusable fabric pads each, one pair of underwear each and a quarterly class on reproductive education and menstrual hygiene. It only costs $20 to supply 3 girls at least a year, allowing them to continue their studies without interruption or harassment.

To reach this goal we need to make 100 fabric pads by December 1st, 2008. We're well on the way but we need your help to continue our project and extend it out to surrounding schools and communities. Please join SHARE to find out more about sanitary health in developing countries and how you can help women lead safe, happy and independent lives. There are a number of ways you can help from making pads to donating. Watch this space for more information.

Thank you for SHARING!
