Let's connect her with Agape Hope for Kibera. That's where we hired Jensikiah to make the reusable pads for 300 girls. I also think we're stronger together if we connect them. Some of the women were asking to get together with other young girls who have been put in negative situations.

Yes; period poverty impacts a lot of women. The uptake of reusable pads is low, because of 1.its inconvenience 2. Many communities lack water eg the refugee settlements and the rural areas. Getting so much water to clean the pads would be a challenge am sure.

Florence is a great young woman and I hope she will find an employment because her work will be her help to society and monitory help to her family at once. This story reminded me slums of Siberian towns, I couldn't even imagine when I went to build Communism, as Communist Appeal to youth was called in 1956 in Soviet Russia.I think, it's still the same now there . I wish none of the people live in such horrible conditions.

Life in the slums is very difficult in Kenya and most of the youth are at risk. Marjority don't get to the age of 25 yrs.
