As earlier reported, we intended to raise funds in order to support more girls from PCEA primary school with sanitary towels but unfortunately we have not managed to raise the required money to support the many girls in this school but we will continue fundraising and at this point we kindly request our global giving friends to consider donating some funds in order to support girls in PCEA primary school with re-usable sanitary towels. The money we had raised was not much and we felt that we don’t want to repeat the previous mistake of supporting some girls and denying others. We are therefore requesting people to support this initiative by contributing some money through global giving platform.
I conducted monitoring and evaluation in schools where we had distributed sanitary towels to find out how the beneficiaries are benefitting and to find out if there are challenges that rrquired immediate or special attention and am happy to report that we received very positive feedback from the girls and teachers where the teachers said that girls classroom absenteeism has really reduced and most of them have not been missing classes compared to the previous years. They also reported that their performances are also improving and they are optimistic that they will continue performing well. The girls on the other hand gave us positive feedback although with challenges here and there and in our capacity we have tried to solve some of these challenges. Girls reported that they were happy as they don’t have to bother their parents when they are on their days and they don’t miss classes when they are on their periods. They also reported that the pads are very use to and maintain and they appreciated the talks given to them from different organization. We will continue fundraising in order to get more resources to improve the situation. Thank you all for contributing and supporting our girls.
