Through the First Lady’s Menstrual Hygiene Initiative, every secondary school-aged girl across the country is set to benefit from a full year’s supply of free sanitary napkins and distribution has already started in regions 1, 5, 6, and 10.
This is according to a press release from the Office of First Lady Arya Ali, which said that the venture is intended to benefit more than 30,000 girls and will be an annual one.
The release said that over the next few months, schools in the remaining regions—2, 3, 4, 7, 8 and 9—will receive their allocation for distribution.
