Millennium Fellowship Project: Fibre Trans-waste
Fiber trans-waste is a social enterprise that promises to improve the menstrual hygiene of women in rural communities by recycling waste from sugarcane and maize husk to produce organic sanitary pads. The sanitary pads are healthy and will help them stop the unhealthy habit of using sand or reusable cloths to absorb the blood.The idea aims to provide impoverished people in Builsa north communities who cannot acquire Sanitary pads due to the high cost. The items will be environmentally friendly and made primarily of corn husk and sugar cane waste from farmlands. Because of the natural need and importance for girls and women to use menstrual pads. Fiber trans-waste seeks to minimize, if not eliminate, menstruation poverty among rural residents and also improve the hygiene, health, and stress levels of girls and women throughout their menstrual cycles.
