Sanitary towels for Girls

Amref has been very instrumental in providing the much needed sanitary towels to girls so as to ensure that they remain in school during their mensturation period and their education is uninterupted. The problem concerning lack of sanitary towels in rural areas was worse in Kakamega schools until Amref provided them with towels during the commencement of second team this year. At least now, girls from local secondary schools can comfortably concentrate in class without worrying about how to acquire sanitary towels for use.
