Youth Menstrual Hygiene Management Program
The Youth Menstrual Hygiene Management (YMHM) Program addresses period poverty in Malawi, Africa. Rural Development Partners and Nexus Impacts aim to implement tangible lasting systems across school districts in rural communities. These multi-faceted systems manage menstrual hygiene and health deficits among young girls and women by teaching them sewing skills specifically tailored for creating reusable pads and educating them on sexual health, hygiene, and other relevant topics. Designed around sustainability, the project has a system involving local mother’s groups, and through the establishment of sewing clubs within schools, these local girls and women are fostering independence and systemic support for future generations.
