I have worked and lived in East Africa for 4 years. During that time I've travelled most of the continent in an effort to support girls and women to overcome the Barriere of menstruation. Now I have uprooted my life, cycling from Nairobi to the Netherlands to
raise money for girls in a refugee context.
