During a school year, it’s very common for girls to miss three to six days of school monthly during their menstruation cycle because they don’t have the proper sanitary napkins. When girls become of age it can be difficult to maintain their grades. Missing that amount of school every month can negatively affect their grades, despite their best efforts to keep up. If their grades suffer too much and they’re not able to catch up, they might be forced to drop out where they will return home and help their family with the daily chores and work.
Gratefully, girls at Nyaka never have to worry about this because they’re all provided with sanitary napkins to help them stay healthy, comfortable, and ready to learn.
Even though students are learning from home right now, girls are still receiving sanitary products to ensure they have a sanitary and safe way to handle their cycle.
Thank you!
