Canadian Physicians for Aid and Relief’s testing project is examining the comparative effectiveness of menstrual cups and reusable menstrual pads in empowering girls and women in selected schools in rural Malawi to manage their menstrual health and thereby reduce absenteeism which contributes to poor educational outcomes.
