PAD Drive Campaign – Kilimani Primary School, Elmdy, Isiolo County<br />Over 300 girls at Kilimani Primary School are struggling to access sanitary pads due to extreme poverty. Many miss school during their menstrual cycle, while some are exposed to early relationships or early marriages just to meet this basic need.<br />Through this PAD Drive Project, we aim to provide sanitary pads, menstrual hygiene education, and mental health support to restore their dignity, protect them from exploitation, and ensure consistent school attendance.<br />Our goal is simple: keep girls in school, protect their futures, and promote their well-being.<br />Together, we can restore dignity and empower the girl child.

We are working with young girls in rural communities who urgently need access to menstrual pads. Many of these girls cannot afford to buy disposable pads every month, which affects their health, confidence, and ability to attend school. Through this request, 500 girls will receive reusable menstrual pads, providing up to two years of support. This will significantly improve menstrual hygiene management, reduce absenteeism, and help girls stay focused and engaged in their education. Access to safe, reusable pads means dignity, better health, and stronger school participation for girls who deserve the same opportunities as their peers.

Tuinue Mashinani CBO is a grassroots organisation working to advance education, health, and dignity for young people in rural Kenya. We are organising a Sanitary Pads Drive to support girls at Ivovoani Primary and Secondary School, where many students face significant barriers to menstrual hygiene. In Kenya, a large proportion of girls are unable to afford menstrual products, leading to missed school days and disrupted learning. This is not only a health issue but a matter of dignity, equality, and access to education. We invite your company to partner with us by donating sanitary pads, tampons, panty liners, undergarments, crocs, loafers, or by making a financial contribution. Your support will directly improve attendance, wellbeing, and confidence for girls in our community.
