On 2019 International Day of the Girl, CSI Tanzania conducted its monthly program, Girl Talk, Girl Power, addressing cultural, social, economical barriers adolescent girls are experiencing including lack of basic feminine hygiene products, clean water, and washroom facilities. Since 2014, in collaboration with JMK Park in Dar es Salaam, at least 6,000 girls (12-19 yo) have benefited from CSI's program intended to change the trajectory for girls who're often denied opportunities to live to their full potential and reduce school dropouts due to menstrual health and hygiene challenges.
