As part of VAP’s annual thematic football tournaments, the month of April was quite ideal to host the 3rd edition of Mrembo football tournament on various reasons the main one being a holiday month when all school children were on vocation. The one day tournament held on 26th at Kiambio grounds attracted 16 teams aged between 13-21 years from all the walks of Eastlands part of Nairobi who gathered under the theme of “personal hygiene and menstruation”. The football games and the presence of Mrembo peer educators who interacted with the teams and conducted off pitch sensitization interventions with emphasis on biological process of menstruation and how to use different sanitary pads made the chemistry and camaraderie to work so well for the day. Majority of the girls were interested in the menstruation topic which raised vital discussions amongst themselves and the peer educators who were at hand to address the burning questions and concerns. The winners and the runners up were both awarded with vouchers from the Mrembo Beauty and parlor and supermarket vouchers.
