AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), in collaboration with Keffi Local Government, Nasarawa State has trained Secondary School students on menstrual health

The event organised yesterday by AHF also instituted a sanitary pad bank in Keffi Primary Healthcare Agency and Keffi Ministry of Women Affairs, to ensure availability of sanitary pads for girls.

He said the process of menstruation had caused many girls to stay out of school due to financial inability to purchase pads, misconception and myths around menstruation, hence the need to create awareness. Nwabueze affirmed that the sanitary pad bank by AHF in collaboration with its partners was to ensure continuous availability of pads in facilities for girls in school and out of school during emergency situations.

“We will also see how we can train our people to produce the sanitary pads to benefit our women and girls,’ he said. “This is important because we realise that most of our children are shy especially when they are growing into the reproductive stage.
