Update: Thank you. The team wants to thank everyone for their wonderful support. As we updated in our budget, any funds raised above our target will be used to increase our sample size, and allow us to provide these valuable products to more people. Additional funds will enable us to provide the mothers of the girls with reusable pads as well.
The support for this project means so much to us and our enthusiasm and belief in this project has been doubled by this campaign!! Please keep sharing and donating. Thank you so much.

Does Access to Improved Menstruation Technology (Reusable Pads) Affect Female Outcomes in Sierra Leone?

University of San Francisco

It is estimated that up to 23% of schoolgirls miss school during their menstrual periods in Sierra Leone (Sommer et al, 2012). Lack of access to adequate and affordable menstrual hygiene products is one of the reasons for missing school. Through our field experiment in rural Sierra Leone, we will study the effects of providing reusable pads to school girls on objective outcomes (school attendance and participation) and subjective measures (competition and self-esteem).
