Distribution of 450 sanitary pads to girls in Iftin Primary school Garissa County in order to increase their school enrolment and retention.
Many girls in primary schools in the pastoralist areas skip school when on their periods. Most of them are subjected to embarrassment and fear of teasing related to menstruation.
APPWYK held a dialogue session with Garissa University students and discussed impacts of violent extremism on education institutions.
The session helped identify areas of partnership with the students.
