A few months ago, a workshop on “Hygiene around menstrual bleeding” took place in Narighar. At that time, Dr. Mingma Sherpa had trained the participating women on various topics around the monthly period. As a follow-up project, reusable sanitary pads were produced for the first time in Narighar at the beginning of April. A first promising attempt to counteract the waste problem in Kathmandu and to offer women a cheap alternative to improvised scraps of fabric and expensive plastic products!
