Transforming the lives of underprivileged girls and women in Kenya.

The Women Development Centre ( East Africa) Ltd (WODEC) is a women-led social enterprise company that has firmly positioned itself to engage in development and work to make quality sustainable feminine hygiene available to all. We have the dedication to address Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM), in urban areas and slums. Why? because MHM is an issue that has been identified by disadvantaged women and girls as a driver of gender inequality and disempowerment in slum areas. We plan to develop a replicable and evidence-based model for delivering reusable sanitary pads and education to marginalized girls in Iten, Kabarnet, and Kapsabet urban centers within western Kenya.

By offering training designed to help advocates deliver menstrual health education in the field, including a version for men and boys.
