CCFs three largest programs are:Line 28: Program #1: Women and Girls Menstrual Hygiene Education and supplies: $18,320CCFs mission is to help educate Nepali women and men about menstruation so that theycan begin to demystify the process and see it as a natural event which is not unclean. Our goal isto assist in removing a major barrier for womens participation in school and work by educating on menstrual health and hygiene and to help women understand and care for their bodies. In our trainings, we:a.provide reusable menstrual hygiene kits, b.provide Nepali centric Menstrual Hygiene educational materials c.instruct women on the process of menstruation and how to care for their bodies andd.instruct women in how to sew their own pads Ours is a comprehensive approach to womens health care which will lead to their future participation in society while menstruating.Line 28 Grant #1: Women and Girls Menstrual Hygiene kit production-$5950Grantee: Kesang Yudron, CCF Program manager in NepalGrantee Address: Bhagwang Bahal, Thamel-29, PO Box 10452 Kathmandu, NepalGrantee Phone: 985-102 0531 Grantee email: Kyudron@gmail.com Program purpose: CCF has been funding the production of reusable menstrual hygiene kits in Nepal for use in our menstrual hygiene training programs there. When CCF funds a menstrual hygiene training enough reusable menstrual kits are provided for distribution to women receiving the trainings. Each kit produced in Nepal costs $8.50 and includes: 3 liners, 5 napkins, 1 soap, 2 underwear and a cloth carrying bag plus instructions for care and use. The production of these kits employs 1 women in Kathmandu. In 2022 CCF produced 700 kits for our 2022 Menstrual Hygiene Trainings (and used 300 kits produced earlier for a total of 1000 kits distributed) Line 28 Grant #2: Two day Menstrual Hygiene and First Aid Training- Nuchet Village, Tipsang Gaupalika Municipality, Nuwakot. $2000Grantee: Kesang Yudron, Volunteer CCF Program manager in Nepal, Pema Tamang Certified Medical Technician. Pema Tamang CMA instructor.Grantee Address: Bhagwang Bahal, Tahmel-29, PO Box 10452 Kathmandu, NepalGrantee Phone: 985-102 0531 Grantee email: Kyudron@gmail.com Kesang Yudron has worked with CCF in Nepal to vet communities interested in Menstrual Hygiene trainings, help manage those trainings and report back to CCF on their effectiveness. She also managed the production of CCFs Nepal-centric menstrual hygiene manual and trained women seamstresses to produce CCFs reusable menstrual hygiene kits. In April 2022, Pema Tamang approached Kesang to request that CCF fund menstrual hygiene & first aid trainings in the village of Nuchet. They also requested 400 reusable menstrual hygiene kits for distribution during and after the trainings. Pema Tamang has been a past educator for CCF funded menstrual hygiene and first aid trainings in the remote area of Sertung and Lapa and is a trusted and respected partner. The women of Nuchet heard of these trainings that happened in Sertung and were excited to receive them as well. The women in this community and the surrounding area had never had any training of this kind. 63 women and girls who are considered leaders in health, education and grass roots organizing were selected for the 2 day training. They were all from the surrounding area and were given kits to distribute upon their return and they were trained to take the health information back to their villages to educate others. The final outcome of the training was participants that were very enthusiastic. They learned about their bodies and good menstrual health. They gained insight into different types of menstrual hygiene products and enjoyed learning how to make their own pads. They were eager to teach their friends and families and said they had learned many new things about their bodies. They also said the first aid training was a great compliment to the menstrual hygiene training since their clinics are far away and this gave them some basic skills to help keep people safe and also relieve someones pain when injured. At the end of the training 7 women were selected from 3 different villages to become group leaders and they were given further instruction on how to do trainings on their own. Evaluations were collected and everyone gave positive feedback. They said they would like to see this training given in schools and they would like to see a first aid manual accompany the menstrual hygiene manual. The reusable kits were seen as very valuable since disposable pads are expensive and hard to dispose of in the village areas. Not having to buy disposable pads would save each woman 3000-5000 Rs per year ($25-$40 US) which is money they could definitely use for other purposes. Line 28 Grant #3: 4 day Menstrual Health training for Lhomi Womens Group, Kathmandu, NepalGrantee: Kesang Yudron, Volunteer CCF Program manager in Nepal & Lhomi Womens Welfare Forum-$1800Grantee Address: Bhagwang Bahal, Thamel-29, PO Box 10452 Kathmandu, NepalGrantee Phone: 985-102 0531 Grantee email: Kyudron@gmail.com In September of 2022, Chhing Chippa Lhomi, the Chairperson of the Lhomi Womens Welfare Forum and the Vice Chairperson of the National Indigenous Womens Federation asked CCF to fund a four day menstruation training for the Lhomi population of women living in Kathmandu They also requested 250 reusable menstrual kits to distribute to that community. In 2021, CCF had sponsored a MH training for the Lhomi in their villages in the Arun Valley in far eastern Nepal and that training had been a big success. The women in the Lhomi community there talked on social media about how useful the training had been and the Lhomi women in Kathmandu requested that they also receive the training and kits. The Lhomi Womens Welfare Forum with the help of Kesang Yudron organized a 4 day training for 7 different mothers groups in Kathmandu. A total of 62 women participated in the training to learn about reproductive health care and menstrual |
