Join us this Thursday for Ethiopian coffee and an informal discussion on sustainable sanitary napkins for Ethiopian women. Allison Karnes will be talking about her initiative with WRAPS: Washable, Reusable, Affordable, Pads. In many parts of rural Ethiopia, girls do not have access to sanitary napkins; consequently, they often miss one week of school during their menstrual cycle. Come and learn from Allison’s entrepreneurial experience!
