Menstruation hygiene management for schoolgirls,
2014.
Author: Tracey Crofts,
WEDC.
This guide outlines the
problems experienced by
menstruating schoolgirls
in low-income countries.
Although its focus is
predominantly subSaharan Africa, many
of the issues raised are
relevant to girls in most
low-income countries, although there may be differences
in popular practice and beliefs.
The guide also evaluates simple solutions to these
problems including the use of low-cost sanitary pads, and
suggests ways in which menstruation hygiene management
(MHM) can be included in water, sanitation and hygiene
(WASH) programmes.

Date 2014

challenges we face today and some of the innovative

Small water utilities face unique challenges in delivering
water and sanitation services to their customers. With
a limited revenue base and few opportunities to benefit
from economies of scale, they often suffer from severe
skill shortages and a long legacy of underinvestment in
infrastructure and capacity enhancement. To overcome
these challenges, the small utilities need to maximize their
operating efficiencies and ensure optimum utilization of
their assets.
