For £10 or just under 15 a woman has enough sanitary protection for 1 year!!! I purchased a wrist band and it arrived last week, very quick! If enough people are interested I'll get them to ship me some fridge magnets and wristbands. Let's do our bit to help.

wristbands are £2.50 = 3.70, fridge magnets £1.50 = 2.25

www.actsa.org

The economic crisis in Zimbabwe now means that ordinary woman are unable to afford basic sanitary protection. With inflation topping 1700%, just one pack of sanitary pads costs more than 50% of the average monthly wage for women in Zimbabwe. Faced with such economic adversity, manufacturers of sanitary products have fled Zimbabwe, compounding the shortages.

As a consequence, millions of Zimbabwean women are forced to replace tampons with newspapers and dirty rags, a practice which has led to vaginal infections for which there is no available medication.
Moreover, these medical infections are often falsely attributed to sexually transmitted infections leading to social embarrassment and domestic violence.

Is anyone interested in buying a wrist band or fridge magnet? Please reply to this so I can let the charity know how many of each I need.
Thanks.

Donations are made NOT in cash but in sanitary pads which is fantastic as it means the women who need them should get them.

I still have the fridge magnets for you. Give me a call and we'll arrange to meet up - or if you are coming to the Zoo I'll bring them with me.
