“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.
“These reusable sanitary pads will help the students to save money as well as the environment because other sanitary pads are being poorly disposed of thereby affecting the environment,” She said.
