Nyabende Support Programmes CBO and Ubinti Provide Sanitary Towels
On the 7th of August, 2023, a remarkable event unfolded at St Camlus Secondary School. Nyabende Support Programmes CBO, in partnership with Ubinti, distributed sanitary towels to more than 200 girls attending the school. This event marked a significant step in addressing period poverty and its impact on girls' education in the region. With this partnership, Nyabende Support Programmes CBO and Ubinti are reaffirming their commitment to promoting menstrual health, ensuring girls have the necessary resources to attend school without worrying about their periods.
Empowering Through Education
Education is a powerful tool that empowers individuals and transforms communities. However, for many girls in rural areas, the lack of access to menstrual hygiene products can become a barrier to education. This collaboration is a shining example of how partnerships can create positive change, ensuring that girls can confidently pursue their education without disruption.
The provision of sanitary towels is not just about addressing a practical need; it's about empowering girls to pursue their education with confidence. Many girls in marginalized communities often miss school during their menstrual cycles due to the lack of appropriate menstrual hygiene products. This absence can lead to a disruption in their learning and a widening of the gender gap in education.
As the distribution of sanitary towels unfolded, the gratitude and relief on the faces of the girls were undeniable. Their voices echoed a collective sentiment of appreciation. A representative from the school expressed heartfelt thanks to both Nyabende Support Programmes CBO and Ubinti for their unwavering support. "Thank you so much, Ubinti, for keeping the girls in school during this time of the month," they shared. This sentiment captures the significance of the collaboration and the positive impact it's making on the lives of these girls.
This event serves as a reminder that change is possible when dedicated organizations and brands come together. By addressing period poverty, they are not only providing sanitary towels but also instilling hope, confidence, and the belief that every girl deserves the opportunity to learn and succeed.
As we celebrate this impactful collaboration, we are reminded of the transformative power of partnerships in creating a more equitable and empowered world.
