Health and
Hygiene Manager Terms of Reference

Background

18% of women and girls in Rwanda miss out on work or school
because of the lack of physical and social accessibility and affordability of
sanitary pads or because of myths, taboos and beliefs attached to
menstruation and menstrual Hygiene management, thus having limited knowledge
and skills of proper Menstrual Hygiene Management.

Quite apart from the personal injustice, and the larger issues of

$115,000,000 in Rwanda. It’s bad business. Bottom line.

ensure that communities receiving go! pads are also able to access Menstrual
Hygiene Management(MHM)information they need.
