Jambo,

I am madam Mary Misachi, a class teacher at the Nurtury Academy situated in Ogwedhi – Maasai, Kwa ward, Suna East constituency within Migori county.

Due to the cosmopolitan and inter-community relation nature of the area (bordering at least Luo, Maasai and Kuria communities), coming from far to the school, and the myths and traditions around menstrual hygiene, I have received a lot of reports concerning girls who cannot attend the school during menstruation.

This is further compounded with the fact that during droughts, learners feel uncomfortable with the smell related with mismanaged menstruation. For this reason there is need for proper hygiene.

I therefore wish to Nominate the school for the free pads and the rainwater harvesting system which will greatly enable the learners to enjoy full time learning at the institution without any worries.

Thank you.

Please support this village.
