Call it What You Want, it's Still Sudza

Joy Kauffman, MPH

This was a sobering reality, getting to visit a shanty community directly across the road from the hotel where we are staying in Zimbabwe. They could not have been more warm, in part because Steven and Dr. Gil have visited a few times already.

Today we got to be there while this young pregnant mom was making the family breakfast, granulated corn starch (SUDZA) with a little added sugar and peanut butter. Three cheers for the peanut butter, but I think folks would likely get about a 1/4 teaspoon per serving... not enough for adequate protein for anyone, much less a pregnant woman.

Naki's Story

Uganda, Africa

"I am 14 years old, and I started my period this year. My first day I felt shy and I missed school... It is not easy to find pads in my village and the few here are very expensive to buy. These new pads are going to protect me when I am having my period. Since they are reusable, I am not going to worry anymore when my periods come!"

Pads

Freedom from Shame

Everyday thousands of African girls drop out of school. WHY? Their monthly cycle, period. You can help these girls stay in school with washable cloth pads, panties and confidence for 15$ per girl.
‍Our goal is 5000 girls in 2020!
