About Maybe Aplicació Multifuncional

L'aplicació Maybe és senzilla. És atractiva, neta i intuïtiva, generada per parlar sobre el tema tabú de la menstruació que, malauradament, causa molts danys en el desenvolupament correcte de les nenes, tant físic com emocional. La solució es genera mitjançant la col·laboració amb especialistes i pares, arribant a la conclusió que la mala experiència es pot evitar amb suport i abordant aquest tema en el moment adequat amb la preparació adequada dels pares que, mitjançant articles, entenen millor com guiar-les i educar-les millor per tal d'empoderar les nenes i ajudar-les a conèixer-se millor.
