Periods, Poverty & Shame: Breaking The Vicious Circle

This is Mercy. When she gets her period, she doesn’t go to school. Mercy lives in one of the slums in Kenya, where money is very tight for many families. On average a pack of pads cost 1-1.50$, but with her family earning only around 1$ per day, Mercy can’t afford to buy any.
