Forty community partners (10 male and 30 female) were trained on how to make re-usable sanitary pads/wear and face masks in ward 13 Bikita, Masvingo province. The development is expected to go a long way in empowering the community which find it hard to buy these products (sanitary wear and face masks) which are necessary to everyday life.
The cooperative is expected to make these products for their personal use as well and sell to others for income generation.
