How Succulent Pads are Empowering Women to Access Sanitary Menstrual Products
Today, the global health crisis has had a significant impact on women and girls around the world. Access to safe and affordable menstrual hygiene products has become an even greater challenge, especially in developing countries. A group of students at the University of Colorado Boulder have come up with a creative solution to this problem - re-purposing menstrual pads into planters for succulents! This initiative, known as the Menstrual Pads for Succulents Project, is a simple and cost-effective way to provide access to sanitary products. The project involves collecting used menstrual pads from local high schools and converting them into planters for succulents. The pads are then distributed to local communities in need, providing them with a safe and affordable way to manage their menstrual hygiene. The project has already made a positive impact in the community, providing women and girls with access to sanitary products and providing them with the opportunity to grow their own plants.
