Construction of WASH infrastructure in Northern Cameroon
This is a non-designated project on federal lands or outside Canada. The listed authorities are responsible for the project assessment.
This project seeks to improve menstrual health and hygiene for women and girls living in Méhé village in the far north region of Cameroon. This intervention aims to provide solutions that enable their full participation with dignity in the educational, cultural, civic and economic life of their community. The project focuses on increasing individual and community knowledge of menstrual health and hygiene to break down the stigma surrounding menstruation. Project activities include: (1) training and running awareness sessions for women, girls, men and boys on menstrual health and hygiene, gender equality and gender norms; (2) training women on the production of reusable sanitary pads and soap; (3) constructing a small facility where women can produce sanitary pads and soap; (4) constructing 6 wells and 3 safe and accessible toilets; and (5) developing maintenance plans for the new wells and toilets to support the participation of women and girls in decision-making.
