Improving Menstrual Hygiene, Education and Entrepreneurship in the African Girl Child

Most illnesses and diseases women have these days, in Africa most especially, are as a result of poor hygiene, lack of menstrual education and facilities and organisations to aid with the previously listed.



     So let's talk about ways we can improve on that.

Firstly and most importantly, we as women need to take proper care of ourselves health wise ranging from the food we eat, the underwear we wear to the things we wear during our menstruation.



     During our menstruation some of us wear tissue papers which can be very harmful because sometimes these tissue papers we use aren't treated and the particles from it can be stuck and cause infections. Some use towels which mostly are not sanitized or properly disinfected. the best and most appropriate thing to use during our menstruation is pads, but mind you not every pad is treated well so we have to be careful of the ones we use.

WHAT WOMEN GO THROUGH DURING THEIR MENSTRUATION

      Before a woman starts her menstruation, firstly, her body gives her signs. Sometimes these signs or warnings per Se come as pains, cramps, joint pains and back pains.
   
    The duration of the menstrual cycle differs for every woman which is within the range of three to seven days(3-7 days).
 
    Different women go through different stages during their cycle. while some may not experience pain at all, some might experience pain while some fall sick.

SISIBOX: "A UNIQUE AND SIMPLE MASTERPIECE"

                                 
Happy New Year, beautiful!

We thought to let you know that our Chairman and Group MD, BeepMagnet International Group, parent company to BeepHealthCare (producers of SisiBox), Amb. Gilead Okolonkwo (pictured above) recently sat down with This Day Business for a chat about all things SisiBox!

It's not very often we get to witness a man speak so adeptly about periods, so the minute we confirmed our CEO would be granting this interview, we knew we had to bring some excerpts your way!

For as many as do not know, SisiBox is the brainchild of Beep Magnet International Group, a conglomerate of different business entities all directly harnessing the e-commerce and Blockchain technology space. SisiBox functions as one of its vehicles in promoting effective health care, general well-being and financial growth/stability.

CAN YOU REALLY EARN FROM SISBOX?

As women, an endless list of qualities unite us. If we attempted to mention each, we certainly won't be running out of qualities, only out of time. Through the pile however, there's one that uniquely stands out- the innate desire to earn for ourselves. To defeat every stereotype and create income accredited to our name and hard work.

In an earlier post, which you can read here, we touched on a few of the many benefits of SisiBox as they relate to your personal hygiene, comfort and general wellbeing while you flow.

In this, we will be getting to the nitty-gritty of another discourse we know is just as important to you: EARNING THROUGH YOUR FLOW.

SisiBox was launched with this very idea in mind- to change the perspective of  "the red monster" by working to ensure that periods become a topic so comfortable to discuss that employing old-age idioms as a disguise will no longer be necessary.  And beyond that, to build up a powerful network of women entrepreneurs who can cater financially for themselves and  their families through cash rewards and harnessing blockchain technology.

HOW TO MAINTAIN MENTAL WELLBEING DURING PERIODS

It's that time of the month again, isn't it? Can somebody do us a huge favour by inserting an emoji rolling on the floor with a river of tears flowing from the eyes here? Because the period process is exacting. It is excruciating. It seems endless, and whilst you endure, human interaction is not exactly your forte at this point. You might experience sheer happiness and intense feelings of sadness all within the space of an hour. And even worse, sometimes the endorphins, dopamine and serotonin, which are hormones primarily responsible for happiness, do not seem like they exist in your body at all.  Sounds all too familiar, doesn't it? We understand.
