Posted 22 Jun 2024
For the last two weeks, the local moms and our team have been busy making, training, and distributing reusable sanitary pads for the two remaining schools, Makaalu Primary and Mwaasua Secondary Schools.
Nunga Primary School - 35 girls
Wamunyu ABC Primary School - 31 girls
Makaalu Secondary School - 34 girls
Kilembwa Secondary - 289 girls
Mbuini Primary School- 30 girls
Makaalu Primary School – 31 girls
Mwaasua Secondary School – 30 girls
During our training and distribution schedules, the students have expressed great gratitude for the kits. Faith, a student at Mwaasua Secondary School, commented:
“I am humbled and excited to receive the kit; I will not be stressed anymore on what to use during my period. Sometimes, I was praying that my period skips when I am in school because I don’t have sanitary pads.’
‘I am happy that the parents of the girls who receive the wings Poa won’t struggle to buy synthetic sanitary pads and that money can instead be used to buy food for the family. I am proud of making the Wings Poa because I know girls won’t miss school and won’t have challenges getting sanitary pads.
