Kasturba Ghandi Primary School – 2/3/2017

The International Association of Human Values (IAHV) has taken on the initiative of fundraising for Subz washable, reusable sanitary pads to distribute to girls in KZN. The first school that benefited from this project was Kasturba Ghandi Primary School in Inanda. Latha Ramkisson, President of the IAHV used to be the head girl at the school and aims to ensure that the young girls at the school continue with their education with dignity and without worry about where they are going to source their monthly sanitarywear.

The IAHV teamed up with Subz Pants and Pads to distribute 150 packs to the girls in the school. The Subz team chatted to the Grade 6’s and 7’s at the school about puberty and menstruation as well as how to use and look after their Subz packs.

The Art of Living team were also at the activation and they spoke to the girls about the importance of yoga and how it can be used to manage the abdominal pain experienced during menstruation. The team showed the girls some basic yoga moves which the girls really enjoyed.
