So I decided to organise a training to teach them how to make sanitary pads using homemade materials,\u201d she said.<br \/>\nA metre of falalin cloth can make 10 sanitary pads, which are reusable and can last up to two year.<br \/>\n\u201cInside the falalin cloth we use old clothes which can be replaced after each use. That way the pad can be reused\u201d she said. A survey conducted by Yamamoto has found that only around 20,000 women in the district use sanitary pads during menstruation.<br \/>\nNineteen-year-old Devi Pun of Kyang-9 said sanitary pads were not easily available in her village.<br \/>\n\u201cBefore learning how to prepare a homemade sanitary pad, it was difficult for me to go to college during menstruation. Now I have no such problem,\u201d she said.<br \/>\nSchool students, representatives of local mothers\u2019 group and other clubs are receiving training from Yamamoto these days.<br \/>\nSixteen-year-old Susmita Chapagain said she was now able to make a sanitary pad for herself for little or no cost.<br \/>\n\u201cIf we were to buy a year\u2019s supply of sanitary pads, it would cost at least Rs 1,000,\u201d she added. \u201cI used to skip school during my period in the past. These days I go to school regularly.\u201d<br \/>\nYamamoto\u2019s campaign has also inspired the District Development Committee and some local NGOs to organise similar training in other parts of Parbat.\u00a0<em><strong>source : kathmandupost\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kathmandu &#8211; Women and teenage girls in Kushma, the headquarters of Parbat district, and Huwas, Khanigaun, Kyang VDCs have received training from Japanese volunteer Yuki Yuki Yamamoto to make sanitary pads at their homes.
