Tightening and Lubricates the Vagina all at the same time

For Vaginal wall rejunivation 

"Manjakani" is unlike any other lubricant or tightening cream because it tightens naturally while providing just the right amount of lubrication for maximum pleasure and comfort.

What's in it? Manjakani Plus Gel contains extract of oak galls, a remarkable natural ingredient that increases muscle tension in the lower vagina, enabling a firmer grip for increased sexual enjoyment for both partners. Now, added with extracts of Pueraria Mirifica to further enhance natural lubrication and healthier vaginal elasticity and health. How does it work? Oak gall's astringent properties give instant tightening effects, while its antioxidant properties tone up vaginal walls to help reverse the loss of elasticity due to aging, hormonal changes and childbirth. These properties also help reduce problems caused by age-related thinning of vaginal tissues. Its natural antiseptic actions can help to prevent infections. Effective as a Lubricant too! As women age, the vaginal lining thins, causing irritation, painful intercourse and increased risk of yeast and bacterial infections. It has been shown that manjakani is able to help restore the health of mucosal tissue, reducing the problems associated with the thinning of the vaginal lining. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, manjakani also aids in healing external tissue damage after childbirth. Externally, it can be used to reduce swellings and bruises caused by minor injuries. Research has also shown that manjakani extract has natural antiseptic properties that are effective in eliminating bacteria, yeast and fungal infection, the main cause of itching and unpleasant odour in the intimate area. In addition, its astringent properties assist in reducing excessive discharges, which is another cause of unpleasant odour. Manjakani also maintains the natural colour of the intimate area. Its extract has unique antioxidant properties that are effective in reducing melanin formation and preventing discoloration. Frequent bacterial of fungal infections and the use of harsh soap may cause discoloration (darkening) of the skin around the genital area. Oak galls are produced when the leaves of the oak tree (scientifically known as Quercus infectoria) are infested by stinging wasps, known as cynips. The spontaneous chemical reaction which follows the infestation, stimulates the leaves to produce a roundish hard ball, called oak gall or manjakani in the Malay language.

The Internship programme first carried in 1992 has been a resounding success as attested by the end internship reports submitted by the different National and International Interns that have participated in the Programme. The aim of the internship programme is to contribute to the training of young human rights workers. The programme intends to: Increase the intern’s understanding of current human rights issues at the community, national, regional and international level and give them an insight into the work of the Kenya Human Rights Commission; Provide the KHRC mechanisms and assistants with the assistances and contributions of outstanding young students. The relationship between the organization and the intern is one of mutual benefit. Interns are assigned to a project according programme needs and their own areas of interest. They are involved, inter alia in; researching human rights issues, drafting analytical papers and reports, providing substantive and technical servicing of meetings, back-stopping fact-finding missions as well as field operations and supporting other KHRC activities depending on programme needs. As part of the internship programme, the KHRC endeavors to brief interns through a series of information sessions on human rights issues conducted by staff of the office. Purpose of Internship Each year, we host interns drawn from our six partner communities, universities and other tertiary institutions in Kenya as well as other countries. The interns are generally young people who are still in college or have recently graduated and have the keen interest to learn more about human rights and acquire a practical experience. The internship programme enables aspiring human rights activists to master the dynamics in human rights work and acquire relevant experience in the various programs at the Commission - fact-finding, documentation and reporting, human rights education and advocacy. This equips them with adequate knowledge to address human rights concerns and violations in the country. Internship recruitment is on a bi-annual basis. The KHRC also welcomes international interns to work during the summer, usually between May – August.
