MY FAMILY BACKGROUND

Girls in my local region have been passing through a hard time when they attained the age of maturity. Due to poverty that has stricken, majorly have not been able to access sanitary towels whenever they encounter their periods since they are expensive. Even ladies with children have also been experiencing difficulties as far as this situation is concerned. AMREF, however has been of great help in the recent years when they launched an initiative of supplying free sanitary towels to the women in my community. Also they do the same to schools and I can say that the situation has really improved. The general hygiene of the women has improved and thus there is a good impact portrayed.
