Subject: Invitation to Participate in Project Intervention on Harmful Traditional Practices in the
Me'en Community of West Omo Zone, Ethiopia
Project Title: Tackling Women's Exclusion During Menstruation: A Cultural and Health
Initiative
Dear [Stakeholder/Organization Name],
On behalf of Mizan-Tepi University I am pleased to invite you to participate in an initiative
dedicated to addressing harmful traditional practices that impact the lives of women in the Me'en
community of West Omo Zone, Ethiopia. Our project, titled “Tackling Women's Exclusion
During Menstruation: A Cultural and Health Initiative,” is designed to tackle the social
exclusion women face during menstruation, which has profound effects on their physical and
mental well-being, community participation, and economic development.
This initiative aims to work collaboratively with community leaders, health professionals,
educators, and other stakeholders to:
1. Raise Awareness: Educate community members on the health, social, and economic
consequences of menstrual exclusion.
2. Empower Women and Girls: Provide health education and resources to support
menstrual health, thereby fostering an inclusive community environment.
3. Collaborate on Sustainable Solutions: Develop and promote culturally appropriate,
sustainable interventions to change harmful practices and improve community health and
gender equality.
We believe that your expertise, resources, and community influence will be vital in achieving the
objectives of this project. We are committed to fostering a collaborative environment where all
participants can contribute meaningfully to the project’s outcomes, promoting lasting change and
empowerment within the Me'en community.
We kindly invite your organization to join us in this crucial initiative as a partner, advisor, or
supporter. Your involvement would play an invaluable role in ensuring the success of the
program and the well-being of the women and girls in the community. Together, we can make
strides towards a more inclusive society where women are empowered, respected, and active
participants in all aspects of life.
Please do not hesitate to contact us at ableltekeste2005@[Link] or +251913678821 should
you have any questions or require further information. We look forward to your participation and
to working together to bring about positive change. For brief case we have attached a 5 page
proposal about the overall concept of the project.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a meaningful impact.
Warm regards,
