Women in Lebanon can no longer afford menstrual and basic hygiene products as plummeting economic conditions in the country have pushed 78% of the population below the poverty line.

Story

Women in Lebanon can no longer afford menstrual and basic hygiene products as plummeting economic conditions in the country have pushed 78% of the population below the poverty line. For many female refugees, its a case of choosing between food or hygiene items.Period Poverty is defined by the lack of access to sanitary products, a safe and hygienic place in which to use them, and the right to manage menstruation without shame or stigma.With no other options in sight, many have been forced to find alternatives, such as using newspapers, old cloth or tissue paper. All are very unhygienic and cause health issues that they cannot afford to treat. At the end of this month we will be completing womens  health screening on 250 beneficiaries who we distributed to in February and also completing further distribution of washing detergent and gaining feedback on the useage of reusable sanitary pads. Please kindly donate whatever you can to help support this project.
