Tupa Kitambaa Phase 2: menstrual hygiene facilities

Build menstrual hygiene facilities in public marketplaces and bus stations.

In the markets and bus stations where thousands of women trade and travel daily, toilets exist but were never designed with menstruation in mind: no private space to change, no water to wash, no safe way to dispose of used materials. Women lose trading days, or endure the day in discomfort.

What the funding buys

  • A private changing space with a secure door, and an improved latrine
  • A handwashing and washing point, with water storage and connection
  • An incinerator chamber for safe disposal of used materials
  • A vending machine supplying affordable sanitary pads
  • Attendant training, awareness work, monitoring and audit
Unit cost
USD 6,900 per facility, all-in
Duration
12 months, build and handover
Who benefits
Women trading in and travelling through six public sites; facilities are handed to the municipal authority on completion

Teen Mothers Empowerment Centre: sponsor one village for one year

Establish and run a vocational empowerment centre for one year, in one village, for around 25 teenage mothers and their children.

In Tanzania, roughly one in four adolescent girls has begun childbearing. For most, pregnancy ends their education, and with it any realistic path to an income. They are excluded from formal employment, hold no capital, and carry caring responsibilities that rule out work away from home.

What the funding buys

  • Centre setup: equipment, premises preparation, branding, initial stock and field mobilisation
  • Twelve months of operation: staffing, daily nutrition, health and first aid, training materials, utilities and monitoring
  • Childcare on site throughout, so mothers train with their children beside them
  • Graduation packages and beneficiary support at the end of the cycle
Unit cost
USD 35,000 per village, per year
Duration
12 months, setup to graduation
Who benefits
Around 25 teenage mothers per cohort, with their children cared for on site
