Final kits distributed and training completed for 650 girls

Posted 14 Jun 2025
Since our last update, the remaining 100 Wings Poa kits have been successfully produced, bringing the total number of kits completed to 650.
The remaining 172 kits were distributed to students at the following schools:
School | Number of kits |
Kaliambeu Comprehensive School | 70 kits |
Machakos Secondary School For The Deaf | 102 kits |
With this final round, a total of 650 girls have now received kits and menstrual hygiene training.
In June, menstrual hygiene and health training were conducted in the final two schools listed above. These sessions, like the previous ones, emphasised the proper use and maintenance of reusable kits, hygiene best practices, and strategies for reducing stigma. Teachers and students have reported high levels of engagement and appreciation for the open, respectful dialogue created through these sessions.
"This work has given me confidence and stability. I have been able to save for my daughter's tuition fees, who will be joining the university in September. I am grateful for this chance."
"Before the training, I thought menstruation was something to hide. Now I know how to take care of myself, and I feel proud, not ashamed."
