Pamoza Tingakwaniska donates reusable sanitary pads
Pamoza Tingakwaniska Youth Organization has on Saturday donated reusable sanitary pads to female students at Chisenga Community Day Secondary School in Chitipa District in a bid to help needy students while conserving the environment.
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.
