Give Back
Part of the proceeds for each trip goes towards supporting local communities in the spaces in which we choose to travel. It’s important to us to give back to the places that offer us such tranquility. In the same way that self-care comes with an investment, we believe that investing in the places we visit will not only ensure that those spaces flourish for generations to come, but it is also a way to respect the people occupying the land.
Kenya
Nimetosha is proud to partner with King Kaka on The Sanitary Bank Campaign. King Kaka is a Kenyan recording and performing artist who has been active in the music scene for over eight years. He has a partnership project with UNICEF Kenya, a Blaze ambassador, CEO of Kaka Empire, an actor and board member of Dreams Campaign.
King Kaka knows firsthand how poverty can contribute to many young people getting into situations they cannot come out of.
The Sanitary Bank Campaign is intended to keep young girls in school by giving them an opportunity to learn without having to miss school due to menstruation. When they menstruate, most girls in primary and high school cannot afford to buy sanitary towels so they resort to using old clothes, blankets, multiple underwear, tissue or old pieces of mattress’. As a result, it puts the girls at risk of contracting various vaginal infections, which go untreated because they cannot afford the hospital bill and talking about vaginal related issues is considered a taboo.
KSH 600 keeps a girl in school for a whole year.
Students receive:
- One year supply of sanitary pads
- One year supply of underwear
- Soap
- Menstrual cup
- Books and pens
- Hygiene guideline pamphlet
