Adapting our content to reach vulnerable girls and boys
Our books have been adapted in some contexts to better meet the needs of vulnerable young people:
In 2018, a Tanzanian menstruation activist and social entrepreneur, the founder of Hedhi Salama translated our Healthy Adolescence book into Braille to better reach visually impaired adolescent girls and boys. Local teachers of Braille were engaged in the effort, and the young people later shared why the translated book was so meaningful to them.
In 2019, our publisher in Madagascar was asked to translate our Madagascar girl’s puberty book into braille for girls living in residential houses for the visually impaired. Books are now being distributed!
