A while back, Citizen T.V aired a feature named “Periods of shame” explaining the hardships young girls in Marigat, Baringo District in Rift Valley in Kenya, go through during their monthly menses. The situation for the girls in Marigat area in Kenya could not get worse at the time. The young Kenyan school-going girls had to skip going to school during that period. Lack of menstrual supplies is a critical issue of mobility, dignity and human girl rights for all girls all over the world. Inua Dada initiative in Kenya intervened in the situation of the residents of Marigat in Kenya and supplied the menstrual products to the schools in the dry parts of Kenya. 

It was shocking to learn that the girls in Kenya who do not miss going to school over this period usually use grass, chicken feathers, goat skin or soil as they cannot afford good quality sanitary products in some parts of Kenya. To add salt to injury, menstruation in most Kenyan communities is a hush shush taboo and cannot be discussed in the open. This leaves the young girls of Marigat in a sticky situation where they cannot ask for assistance from even their teachers of friends.

This feature solicited mixed reactions from the people all over Kenya and led to the birth of the “Inua Dada initiative”. Inua Dada Initiative program in Kenya was aimed at debunking the secrecy around menses as well as providing the girls in Marigat with sanitary towels. Inua Dada initiative was a joined initiative with stakeholders such as African Cotton Industries in Kenya, Royal Media Services in Kenya and Red Cross Kenya.

The First Lady, Mrs. Margaret Kenyatta, launched the Inua Dada campaign in Kenya so as to ensure that the young girls in Marigat area in Rift Valley had access to sanitary towels as well as empowering them via sustainable programmes.  The Kenya Red Cross Society rolled out the campaign mobilizing Kenyans to donate sanitary towels in various parts of Kenya. All the Kenya Red Cross offices in Kenya had been designated as drop off points where people could donate sanitary towels for the girls in Marigat in Baringo District. Kenya Redcross has offices in many parts of Kenya including Nairobi, Nakuru, Kirinyaga, Meru, Machakos, Baringo, Eldoret, and many other places. In Nairobi, Kenya Redcross has offices Off Race Course Road on Haile Selassie Avenue, in Highway Estate and on Dagoretti Road in Nairobi. 

The African Cotton industries in Kenya donated at least 4,000 packets of sanitary packets during the 2013 Inua Dada Campaign in Kenya. Nationwide, a supply of sanitary towels to last the girls in Marigat for a whole year was collected. The Inua Dada initiative in Kenya will go a long way in ensuring that the girls in Marigat do not miss out on school during their menstruation.

Magilim is the latest answer to our prayers for weight loss in Kenya. Magilim is the celebration of all overweight Kenyans who have had access to it. There are testimonies of many Kenyans who have lost up to 8 Kgs within a month of using Magilim product. It comes packed in 500g capsules. It is recommended that one takes two capsules one hour before each meal with 250mls of water.

What are the contents of Magilim? Magilim contains Konjac glucomannan, which is extracted from the Konjac plant.  When ingested, it turns into a gel like substance with the capability to expand to almost fifty times, giving a feeling of fullness and delays stomach emptying, thus preventing overeating. Konjac also acts as a cleanser, absorbing and expelling toxins from the body. Studies in Kenya show that it also helps in lowering cholesterol. Konjac has also been shown to control blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes and is approved for treating constipation.

There are however, side effects associated with the use of Magilim, though manageable. Magilim should be taken with plenty of water to prevent choking and blockage of the throat and intestines. This product for Kenyans should also not be taken shortly before bedtime.

Magilim reduces absorption in the intestines. Therefore, should not be taken when one is under other medication. It should also be avoided when someone is going for, or after surgery, as it interferes with blood sugar. It is advisable for those with diabetes to seek a doctor’s consent before taking.

One bottle of Magilim bottle costs about Ksh. 3000 in Kenya.
