MASIMBANI-KENYA SANITARY PAD DISTRIBUTIOIN - October 2024
A UN Report on Kenya has highlighted a national crisis with up to 65% of women and girls throughout Kenya facing significant challenges when it comes to managing their menstruation. Women and girls often struggle, due to lack of access to affordable sanitary products. Local health workers have alerted us to the pressing need for menstrual health support among schoolgirls in the area, many of whom miss school during their periods due to the lack of sanitary products.
CAENDON Sent a donation of 50 pads to underprivileged girls in the Masimbani school. We hope to continue this project to benefit more girls.

OTHER Projects
AFRICAWIDE - October 2024
CAENDON is working to develop sustainable housing to benefit the poor in Africa.
Having access to quality affordable housing is fundamental to reduce poverty, improve equal opportunities and guarantee a sustainable growth:
The need for adequate housing to be “particularly acute” in Africa, since the continent has the fastest growing population in the world, predicted to rise from 1.2 billion people in 2015 to 2.5 Billion by 2050.
BOOKS AND EQUIPMENT FOR SCHOOLS
Many schools in Kenya lack essential supplies like Books, computers etc.
CAENDON is therefore running a project to source such inputs to support schools
