MASAAI is among the few tribes in the world that have retained their traditions, lifestyle, and lore. Despite having distinctive culture, rituals, high jumping dance, and custom dress, Masaai still considers menstruation as a curse, hence maasai girls face a lot of discrimination when experiencing their menses.
Hence, we train girls and the Masaai community on the facts concerning menstruation and ensure they get access to menstrual products.

The program will involve the following activities;
1. Preparation of educative teaching contents and unique teaching aids related to sexual reproductive health rights, which will be used to train the Maasai community on menstruation, sexuality, family planning, and sexual reproductive health rights.
2. Training Maasai girls on how to make their own reusable sanitary pads using local materials available in their local environments such as cotton fabrics, waterproof materials, and towels. The world packers will be trained on how to do this activity by our working staff, and we will collaborative train the girls in Maasai land.
3. Learning the beauty of the Maasai tribe, which include experiencing cultural foods and wearing culture customs.
4. Taking good pictures, reports and attractive videos of program, and sharing the contents to our supporters, followers and beneficiaries.
The shift will involve
1. In office activities, which means some days will be spent in the office preparing the workshops, writing reports, editing photos and sharing content in the social medias.
2. Out of the office activities, this is the main part of the program where some days will be spent, in the maasai villages training girls on menstruation and exploring the beauty of the Maasai tribe.
Due to the fact that masaai people still abide themselves with primitive cultural believes, during out of the office activities to their village, we prefer to wear cultural attire, or any decent cloth.
