2) Laos Solidarity or Eau Laos Solidarite
Laos Solidarity has worked with Luang Prabang Library’s Outreach Program since 2010. Registered in France under the name Eau Laos Solidarité, the organisation writes hygiene books for children & teenagers. Trained educators from Luang Prabang Library hold puberty workshops in secondary schools, thus helping to keep girls in school. It also trains rural teachers and nurses in Menstrual Hygiene Management. Why is managing menstruation at school so important? Because knowledge about periods may keep a girl in school, and out of child marriage. Today, we have reached over 100 000 adolescent girls with vital knowledge about periods and personal hygiene.
