Essay#3 Idea Draft

I am thinking to research about promoting health problems like sanitary pads for girls and women in poor countries. I feel like this problem is so important because women cannot avert this since this is the natural biological things that happen to every girl. Most girls are ashamed of themselves and missing school because they couldn't afford sanitary pads.


Organization:  Scharph's Organization, Sustainable Health Enterprises (SHE)
           - designs affordable banana fiber sanitary pads in Rwanda to improve feminine hygiene and increase school attendance.


Questions: How do we solve this problem? Manufacture cheap pads and provide them? 
Does giving out sanitary pads can make girls to stay in the school? What other factors can cause girls missing school due to mensural period?


Quotes:
"Scharpf visited Rwanda, where the cheapest pads commercially available were Chinese-made and cost $1.10 for a pack of ten"(288).
"The traditional model of making a difference was conservative, passive and risk-averse" (288).
"Our view is that pads won't eliminate the problem but may mitigate it"(290).
