      @MForstater I prefer locally-innovated & manufactured solutions. There are similar initiatives like @makapads http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDxaNpLHe6I …

      @tmsruge - I wonder what barrier is to the sewing pattern being copied by local tailors, it can't be capital or IP....why the need for BOGO?

      @MForstater We are merely recipients. In the previous case, it is the only BOGO model that does it right. Instead of product, it invests

      @tmsruge - Investmnt good but does product meet needs e.g. this study - girls choose disposable over free cloth pads http://www.doublexeconomy.com/publications-projects-2/sanitary-care-and-girls-education/ …

      @MForstater But in case of not having any option vs 1 option, better to have 1 option than none. Has to start somewhere. Access & edu needed

      @tmsruge Sure but if Goal1:meeting girls needs conflicts w Goal 2: creating local sewing jobs, 1 or other must prevail. I think its Goal 1

      @MForstater Not sure what you are arguing.. Are you saying it is wrong that they are manufactured in Uganda to meet their girls needs?

      @tmsruge No, I'm saying it may turn out that manufacturing washable pads in Uganda and meeting girls needs may turn out not to be win-win

      @tmsruge - it may be a nice idea - like playpumps etc... which turns out not to work. Always danger when some agency is choosing soln 4 ppl.
