Reusable sanitary pads helping Ethiopian girls stay in class uninterrupted

(Nov 02, 2015, (Addis Ababa))--In many African countries, menstruation is rarely talked about, yet remains a stressful problem for teenage girls, particularly those from low-income homes who have to skip classes because they can't afford sanitary pads.

However an Ethiopian entrepreneur in Addis Ababa is working to change that by producing affordable reusable sanitary towels that can last up to one year.
