In a powerful gesture of support, PureEden Foundation (PEF) has donated 100 packs of sanitary pads to girl-children at Ntraban Methodist Basic School and Yaara Roman Catholic (R/C) Basic School in the Bono East Region.
The donation was part of PureEden Foundation's mission to support health, education, and economic empowerment in rural communities.
This generous act has brought hope and dignity to young girls who often miss school due to menstruation, and has helped to break down the stigma surrounding menstrual health.
The donation, which was in commemoration of the upcoming World Menstrual Hygiene Day on May 28, 2024, was made possible by the foundation's Associate Executive Director, Ms. Louisa Mensah, and her team, who included Madam Akosua Danquah, a community development specialist and Dennis Ato Keelson, a Journalist.
"We believe that every girl and young woman deserve access to safe and dignified menstrual health," said Ms. Mensah.
"We are committed to working with communities to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all. No girl should have to miss school because of her period," she stressed.
The Headmaster of Ntraban Methodist Basic School, Patakoh Kwame Mensah, expressed his gratitude for the donation, saying it would greatly benefit the students.
"This donation will help our girls stay in school and focus on their education, rather than worrying about their periods," he said.
He also appealed for further support in renovating the school's buildings and providing teaching and learning materials.
