Because every woman’s story matters!
Zayane Creations Trust has kicked off an exciting Menstrual Health and Hygiene training and it’s not just for young women, but also for elderly women, our first counselors and guides during menarche and menopause! As alangizi in their churches and communities, they play a crucial role in shaping healthy conversations around menstruation.
Our curriculum covers everything ~ from understanding the male and female body, to menstrual hygiene, menstrual calendar, menopause, and breaking old myths.
On 20th March 2025 ZCT conducted a baseline study in Chimwaza and Jambawe villages to find out what matters most to women and girls. Over 300 women shared their voices with us!
Key findings showed a strong need for:
- Accessible family planning services
- Protection from gender-based violence (GBV)
- Financial empowerment through business skills training
- Better menstrual hygiene support
Women bravely spoke about hidden struggles and myths that used to hold them back. They also dreamed big: asking for menstrual health and hygiene training, gender-based violence training, and skills training to build brighter futures.
We are honored to walk this journey with them ~ because empowering women starts with listening, learning, and leading together.
