Through Caritas Makeni and CRS’s training on menstrual hygiene and reusable pads, I learned to make affordable sanitary pads for school girls. This has helped reduce absenteeism and ensured girls attend school with dignity.

Thanks to the support I received from Caritas Sierra Leone Makeni’s Migration Desk, I was able to start my own business. This has provided me with a stable livelihood, not only for myself but also for my family.
