Issuance of sanitary towels 

My name is Linda Madida. I am a teacher of a certain primary school in Kakamega. There was a trend which cropped up in my shcool, where girls used to perform very well in the lower primary but when they reached upper primary then tend to drop. I came to learn that lack of sanitary towles to this mature girls demoralized them. Tehy could miss school at times during their periods and this really affected their performance negatively. A certain organisation called Aphia luckily came to our school and has been issuing girls with sanitary towels. At least they have convinced now in class and are even competing effectively.
