? Activity Status: Unknown

Key Information

WASH United and WAGGGS are working in partnership to develop and support the rollout of ‘Rosie’s World’, an educational programme specially adapted to be delivered in sub-Saharan African Member Organisations. Adapted from an innovative game and education tool that WASH initially developed with girls in India. It educates girls about puberty and how to manage their periods safely, hygienically and confidently. During the first half of 2019 it was adapted for the Girl Guide and Girl Scout audience in Sub Saharan Africa. It is story-led, with games and activities throughout, and a ‘take action’ project at the end to share the important messages more widely. Girls gain their ‘Red Pride’ badge.
