Mrembo is a four-week educational program for young Tanzanian girls. It covers identity, belonging and purpose, puberty, menstruation, and menstrual management. Sessions use lectures, group discussions, questions and answers, educational activities, and practical demonstrations.
At Semba Secondary School in Ilemela, Mwanza, the project worked with 136 Form One girls. Students learned about puberty, the menstrual cycle, menstrual management, identity, belonging, and purpose. Practical activities included learning how to sew washable pads, and washable pads were distributed to all 136 participating students.
