These are disposable pads, but they’re made with a biodegradable byproduct.

The reusable pad idea is a bit tricky–for many people living in areas like Kibera slum, “sanitation” can be very difficult…and if a reusable pad isn’t properly washed, it can cause health problems.

I clicked on the link above and it looks like the fundraising is only 1/3 to goal as of now. I would encourage your readers to post a link to this story on their Facebook page to continue to move the story along. April 15th is fast approaching.
