Kenyan Woman Innovator Creates Biodegradable Pads from Agricultural Waste

Most sanitary pads available for African women and girls are relatively expensive and classified as single-use plastics, which means some take hundreds of years to decompose. To help tackle this environmental problem, a woman-led Kenyan enterprise has created a low cost, biodegradable pad made from agricultural waste. Juma Majanga reports from Thika, Kenya.
