Pad Drive with MWEDZI
2023
In 2023, Art of Health launched the MWEDZI creative menstrual arts competition in collaboration with Dr. Mandi Tembo(PhD. The contest was meant to allow girls and women across Zimbabwe to use art to share their menstrual health challenges and experiences. MWEDZI also involved a pad drive in Mbire Zimbabwe which combined practical support with artistic expression, giving underprivileged girls in rural Mbire access to menstrual hygiene products while encouraging them to explore creative ways to express their experiences and break stigma.
The pad drive itself reached hundreds of young girls in schools in Mbire. By pairing distribution with workshops and artistic activities, participants not only received vital resources but also engaged in reflective, empowering experiences that reinforced dignity, self-expression, and awareness around menstrual health
