Targeted community members, mainly the youth, benefit from increased access to gender responsive WASH services and access to MHM products and services, enhanced knowledge and awareness about menstruation, the creation of enabling environment that supports appropriate WASH and MHM.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
