Vasikana Project, dedicated to the empowerment of girls through menstrual health education in Zimbabwe, partnered with Menstrupedia of India, Stayfree Africa, and The Sister Accord® Foundation to publish the critically acclaimed Menstrupedia Comic in Shona. The Multicultural Solutions Agency has helped us with communications planning. Logistics and web development. Menstrupedia of India, the original publishers, worked with us to translate the comic into Shona, a language spoken by most Zimbabweans (plans are possible for a Ndebele version). The Sister Accord® Foundation donated $2500 to print the comic available for Zimbabwe schools. Translating the critically acclaimed comic into Shona is the 10th partnership for Menstrupedia and an unparalleled resource for girls, especially those in rural Zimbabwe who often do not have access to resources that empower and educate them about their own changing bodies. For years, Vasikana distributed pads in schools. However, ending period poverty is multifaceted, and distribution alone is not enough. An educational resource that helps eradicates barriers to menstrual health and informs girls about their bodies is empowering and available to the girls for years to come.
