Kwale County’s miss tourism, Fatuma khamis is championing a sanitary towel donation campaign in the County.
The
project dubbed sanitary towels to improve
girls education in kwale is aimed at
ensuring that the girl child does not miss classroom hours due to lack of
sanitary towel.
Speaking
to nipashenipashike Fatuma said: apart
from providing the towels, the campaign aims at informing them on how they can
keep hygienic lifestyles to prevent infections, empowering mothers to support
their girls thereby reducing the risk of girls engaging in
risky behaviors and providing role models for the girls to look up to as they
continue with their quest for education
According
to Fatuma the campaign will be launched next month and will be rolled out in
all primary schools in each sub county.
She
urged well wishers to make their donations at drop boxes available at Nakumat
Diani and Sammat. Those wishing to make personal contributions will have to
contact her through her mail, fatmakhamisi46@yahoo.com
Fatuma
who made headlines last week when she accused the county government of abandoning
her after her crowning is working in partnership with the County’s first lady
in the campaign.
