Pamoza Tingakwaniska donates reusable sanitary pads

Speaking in an interview after the donation, Programs Manager for the organization, Gomezgani Mhango said the organization thought of making the donation after having observed that there are some students that are financially challenged to manage menstrual hygiene.

“Chisenga CDSS is amongst the schools we are working with in wanangwa wane project, so because it is located away from town, it is tough for students to easily access sanitary pads, so we thought it wise to render help with reusable sanitary pads.

“I am very thankful for this donation, it has come at in good time because I have been facing challenges to access these pads so now I will be able to manage my situations well while conserving the environment,” she said.
