In the rural communities drop-out rates are high for rural girls. Up to 80% of girls entering primary school will never complete their primary education. Evidence suggests that the period around puberty is one in which many girls drop out of school or are absent from school for a significant period of time. Menstruation causes them to lose on average 3 to 4 days per month. Limited access to safe, affordable, convenient and culturally appropriate methods for dealing with menstruation has far reaching implication on the wellbeing, it undermines sexual and reproductive health and has been shown to restrict access to education.
