SHE is getting into an
amazing phase of production of our LaunchPads. The pads will be produced in the Ngoma
district, more precisely at the Integrated Polytechnic Regional Center (IPRC)
in the Eastern Region.
Check out these photos of our production site in Ngoma!
Even the police officers are excited about our LaunchPad! |
Among the police
officers that stopped me along the way, five of the officers were also women. I
have since learned that 30% of Rwanda national police are women. I now wonder how these female officers manage
their period while working. Officers are always on the move and sometimes are
stationed in areas where they have no access to toilets.
While during our pilot
SHE will be delivering pads to rural school girls, once SHE scales
up, we should also consider the needs of our police women too.
By the way, our production
site is nearly complete! Everyone that I meet can’t wait to see the LaunchPad,
such an innovative product that is being made in Rwanda. Sawa!
