Development Challenge

Women and female students living in the deep rural areas of Transkei are not able to afford sanitary pads. Considering the male dominant culture this is not a high priority for spending money on. School going girls will just stay at home when they have their period. Women's freedom are drastically reduced when they are menstruating.

Beneficiaries
Beneficiaries
The beneficiaries of the sanitary pad project are women and school going female students living in the deep rural areas of Ngqeleni sub district where they are too poor to afford commercial sanitary pads. This project also benefits the ladies who are making the pads from whom TransCape then buy it. Most people living in these rural communities still live according to the traditional Xhosa culture with a male chauvinistic undertone.
