Sanitary pads project
In Jakiri sub-division, northwest Cameroon, around 30,000 young women face challenges in menstrual health awareness and access to affordable sanitary pads, worsened by the ongoing Anglophone crisis, which has disrupted supplies. Traditional disposable pads are costly, slow to decompose, and contribute to waste issues.
The Revolutionizing Menstrual Health project aims to empower young women by teaching them to make reusable pads, improving access and affordability. The project also provides menstrual health education, promotes sustainable waste disposal, and seeks to end menstruation stigma, fostering self-sufficiency and environmental awareness among girls
“Forcefully and unpreparedly displaced to Yaounde by the Anglophone crises in Cameroon was very difficult and I suffered nearly all the challenges an internally displaced person could face in a city. Thanks to the “Back to School with SELF Project” initiated and funded by the Saika Elisabeth Foundation (SELF), I enrolled at CITEC Higher Institute of Technology and Management, Yaounde where I studied Project Management for three years. This education support that covered my school fees, school supplies, and other expenses really changed my life and today, I am a saikaSELF saikaELF proud holder of a Bachelor Degree in Project Management. I wish to thank the Saika Elisabeth Foundation so much and hope to be able to also contribute to the education of some other disadvantaged children in the future through the “Back to School with SELF Project.”
