Destiny Hope Foundation

Last week we visited the Themi Primary School in Arusha for the Menstrual Health Education project. In collaboration with Reepads Sanitary products and in attendence of the Ward Councilor, Mr. Kinabo, we educated 233 girls between 10 and 15 years.

The initiative aims to empower young girls with knowledge on menstrual health, promote self-awareness, and provide sustainable menstrual hygiene solutions.

The program involved an interactive learning session led by the facilitators, where girls were encouraged to actively participate, ask questions, and share their experiences. The safe and open environment allowed meaningful discussions and improved understanding of menstrual health.

In addition to the educational session, 110 girls received REEpads reusable sanitary pads, along with guidance on proper use, care, cleaning, and maintenance.

The choice by Destiny Hope Foundation to support reusable sanitary pads form REEPads, not only addresses menstrual health challenges, but also reflects a responsible and forward-thinking approach to environmental care.

We had a visitor from Kenya/The Netherlands who is staying Kenya at the moment. He was a teacher on sustainable agriculture, so we were happy that he also inspected the new compost heap of Mrs Mary and the field plots that were enriched with home made compost manure last year. This was from the first F2F education by Mr Solomon, an agriculture officer, who is our main agricultural teacher for our projects.

Kees van Veluw, our special guest was very pleased with the progress that the farmer had made from making their own compost heaps and working with this material in the field of maize. He told about common agricultural methods that would reduce pesticides and needs less fertilizer.

After his trip he made a report for DHF about the possible improvements in agriculture and is trying to return to us in the summer for some teachings to farmers. We hope he will.

Mr. Solomon is preparing a new F2F project in another village this Summer/Autumn, so the compost will be ready for the next planting season.
