Sexual Education

We support children, adolescents, and young people in different stages of development, under a personal perspective of their affectivity and sexuality.

 

We work in collaboration with the international Teen STAR program, which trains our volunteers to work on issues related to the physical, psychological, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual dimensions of the person.

 

We develop decision-making skills based on freedom and responsibility. We train local monitors from Kibera so they can continue replicating the program on an ongoing basis in Kenya.

Menstruation Without Rules

Informed · Ecological · Accessible

Within our sexual and affective education program we have the "Menstruation Without Rules" initiative in order to guarantee menstrual hygiene supplies to communities that need it.  

 

Menstruation is still a problem for many girls, young women and adults who do not have the basic supplies necessary for this period. In countries like Kenya it is one of the main reasons for school absenteeism. In Chile, it is also an evident problem for women living on the streets, deprived of liberty or in camps, where access to sanitary pads, tampons and other basic supplies is limited.  

 

This is why we have promoted the "Menstruation Without Rules" initiative, a campaign that focuses in raising funds to deliver reusable sanitary pads to girls and young people in Kenya and Chile. Each delivery goes accompanied by an educational workshop focused on the menstrual cycle and feminine hygiene recommendations. We work so that menstruation stops being an impediment for women, ensuring that it is informed, ecological and accessible.

I can say that the sanitary wipes program has created self-esteem among the girls. It has also reduced the burden on parents because it is reusable, compared to other wipes where you have to buy 1 or 2 packets every month, but these, once you have them, you use them, you clean them to be able to use them.
Lastly, it has put the responsibility on our girls because they have to make sure the reusable pads are clean. Therefore, it forces them to clean them, dry them and keep them stored so they can be used at another time.

Thanks to the Maisha community for the reusable sanitary pads.
