"Msichana Imara Foundation took a collaborative approach by training Nadumu Maasai Organization in pad-making techniques. Following the training, the Nadumu Maasai Organization is independently crafting reusable pads, initiating a ripple effect of support for girls in a Maasai school in Monduli and providing employment opportunities for the seamstresses in Monduli. This collaboration exemplifies the foundation's commitment to empowering other organizations and creating a broader impact in the community." - Director, Nadumu Maasai Organization

"After gaining reusable pad-making skills from the Msichana Imara Foundation, I started teaching other girls in Majengo village to make their own pads. As a recent form six graduate, I sought support from my family to begin producing pads for girls and selling them at affordable prices. I successfully sold up to 144 pads, which provided me with income to support my preparations for university studies." - Neema from Majengo Village

"We are incredibly grateful to partner with the Msichana Imara Foundation. This collaboration has supported our special needs students in learning about menstruation. It has been challenging to find organizations willing to train special needs students, so we deeply appreciate the support from Msichana Imara Foundation." - Madam Patandi Secondary School

"I love learning through pictures and drawings in the 'Je Ni Kweli' comic book. It made understanding menstruation concepts easy for me." - Student from Patandi Secondary School
