About Me

As an older brother of a young girl, it pains me to hear that female students are not attending school during their menstruation period. My teams has built an electronic platform to share information about Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) in secondary schools so that girls can understand and practice MHM, and we can reduce the number of dropouts from schools due to menstruation.

Theme

Empowering Citizens

Location

Kinondoni Municipal Council

Team

Josephat Geofrey Mandara, Godluck Paulo Akyoo, Alex Lawrence Charles, Mwasapi Nazareno Kihongosi, Fransisca Godfrid Silayo, and Hamisi Khalidi Mkongo

Solution

My solution is an electronic platform that contains materials such as books, posters, photographs, tape/DVD and other items that can be used for teaching or reading Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) in Secondary Schools in Tanzania.

Scale up

In addition to expanding to new geographic areas, Tausi Jukwaa will be adding new features to our platform: menstrual period tracking calendar, MHM educational materials, and live questions & answers. We will also expand our system to provide information via USSD and SMS to reach students who do not have an internet enabled device.
