Cheryl, one of our trustees, was thrilled when her dedicated team of nearly 40 cutters, stitchers and packers completed the 1,000th re-usable sanitary pad.
Once the instruction label was ready it didn’t take long to get the first 500 packed and sent to Nepal for testing.
Nugal Vaidya is the Charter President at the Rotary Club of Kathmandu Circle and heads our delivery partners in Nepal. The photos below show the consignment of 500 pads in Nugal’s house ready for distribution. We are looking forward to the feedback so we can carry on making the next batch.
Nepal was chosen as our test country as they have lots of expertise, Nugal adding “I understand that Aquabox is taking the initiative to add this female hygiene project as another flagship program. My club has been doing this for many years and have expertise and dedicated club members. Accordingly, many of our clubs including other local and international agencies are taking up this agenda as it is very much needed in our parts of the communities at large”.
