Ngcizela, is a rural community in the Eastern Cape. The vast majority of the girls who attend the local secondary school are living in poverty and most do not have access to hygienic materials for their menstrual health management. This results in infections, a level of embarrassment and also time missed off school.

Research organisations in South Africa have reported that 20% of schooling time for girls in rural South Africa was lost through menstrual related absenteeism; impacting negatively on girls’ education, health and future job prospects.

the'm'projekt is a pilot programme that will introduce menstrual cups to girls aged 13-19 that attend the local secondary school. A menstrual cup is a reusable, eco-friendly and sustainable menstrual product that lasts for up to 10 years. The introduction of menstrual cups will be used as a platform to deliver workshops on reproductive and menstrual health.

All of the money raised will go towards the success of the project.
