My Journey

During one of my trips to Cameroon, together with the Team we carried projects years with the school children. On one of such day to girls could not take part in the activities reasons being that they were menstruation. the had not material to collect the blood. Menstruation a monthly gift bestowed by. nature to the girls and women. Like wise playing out in the fields one of our girls was also menstruating and needed assistance.  She had to leave in shame back home. 

After the school project we visited different villages around Mbengwi and found out that girl use very unhealthy material during their menstruation, rags, cow dung, leaves or even part of the matress cut. 

image358

To help the girls, on my return I started collecting pads in Switzerland and support girls in Cameroon. This process went on for tow years. I needed a long lasting solution because the pads were not enough and the request kept increasing. Supporting 311 girl in two year, i though it wise to help them better. thus I met friends and share this ideas. in this way the idea of washable and reusable pads was put into place. We have been working successful for the past year. instead of 1000 pads with I initially needed we have been able to distribute 3011 pads.

We set these pads in Swiss and take to Cameroon. these pads are distributed by the team to the need. 

We have started teaching  and training trainees  to sew these pads also in Cameroon.

Our project in Cameroon

Sewing for girl in Cameroon:

The Dorena Eco-friendly pads Initiative Project provides access to reproductive health information and sustainable clean and safe options for menstrual hygiene management. The project aims to empower vulnerable groups – such as rural women and girls who have dropped out of school or girls who cannot afford proper hygienic products during menstruation. Through teaching them how to sew reusable sanitary pads and providing opportunities to break this vicious cycle, and with our community health enterprises, we can promote gender equally and reduce poverty among women and girls.

Working in the hard to reach communities of North and South West Regions of Cameroon. I witnessed girls using dirty rags, leaves of trees, unhealthy compromising materials, papers and other harmful materials during menstruation. After doing a walk and talk search around the neighbouring communities in that area and beyond, I realised that most girls are home and prison due to lack access to feminine hygiene products to safely manage their periods. Some girls from the Fulani’s and Mboro’s cultures told me they are left with the option of sitting on the floor during the menstruation allowing their cloth….. click on the link read more. https://cnfoundation.ch/programs-in-cameroon/
