MENSTRUAL HYGIENE 2023
Last May, The Samburu Project and PadMad Kenya set off for Wamba Girls Secondary School to host our 5th annual Menstrual Hygiene Day event. Thanks to the support of AirKenya, Kapa Oil Refineries, Family Bank, and our amazing donors, we were able to facilitate a workshop for 10 local schools, serving 1,441 girls. Together, we distributed underwear, bars of soap, and reusable sanitary kits that will last the girls up to 5 years. The event concluded with a surprise performance by Samburu singing sensation, Laiso Boy. The celebration was the culmination of a week of events dedicated to lifting up Samburu women and girls. In addition to the school event, our team hosted menstrual hygiene workshops for 2 rural villages, Ntintil and Ldupai. The campaign was such a success, it was even featured on KTN [Kenya Television Network]. Thank you to everyone who made MHD 2023 a success!
