PHASE II Reality Studio 09 - New Sense in Nuisance page 30 of 97
Introduction to Phase II The chapter of Phase II describes our product development process upon our return to Sweden. In this phase, the way with which we have utilised the water hyacinth as a resource has become more specific. Motivation of Product Choice “870,000 girls in Kenya are missing four days of school every month due to a lack of sanitary pads and underwear” (ZanaA, 2009). In achieving the goals towards a sustainable future, a poor menstrual management directly counteracts several of the Millennium Development Goals established by the United Nations. Not only does a decreased attendance at school work against the aim of achieving a universal primary education, it also affects the gender equality, as women are not provided with equal opportunities as men. There is thus an urgent need of low-cost sanitary protection; being able to protect oneself during menstruation is a basic need among women and should not exclude those in poverty. The water hyacinth has a good absorption capability and therefore there is a great potential in developing an absorption material from the plant suitable for a sanitary pad. One of the initial project goals was to develop a product that is aimed for and benefits the people in the Lake Victoria Region. A product like this, which takes advantage of the high reproduction rate of the water hyacinth, would facilitate the lives of many women and have a tremendous ecological, economical and hygienic impact. Additional Project Aims The initial aims and sub goals were still valid in the second phase of the project. However, as the project had taken a new direction, to develop a sanitary pad out of water hyacinth, additional goals were set up to complement those of the first phase. 1. To design an affordable pad, foremost for young girls 2. To make a locally produced pad for a local market 3. To have a simple production process with easily maintainable machinery 4. To construct a biodegradable pad The project aim had now developed from solving the problem with the existence of the water hyacinth on Lake Victoria to also solving the issue with poor girls having to stay at home from school due to a lack of menstrual protection.
