RUFFO and Miss Universe Tanzania Visit Kerezange Secondary School to Address Menstrual Health Management

RUFFO, in partnership with Hedhi Yangu Ambassador Shubilla Stanton, visited Kerezange Secondary School in Kivule, Dar es Salaam to address menstrual health management (MHM) and donate sanitary pads.

During the workshop, Shubilla spoke to the schoolgirls and encouraged them to prioritize their menstrual health and hygiene.

The donation of pads was in response to the period poverty faced by many girls in the school. According to RUFFO's research, about 60 girls in Kerezange Secondary School have missed classes because they did not have access to sanitary pads.

RUFFO encourages everyone to join the fight against period poverty by donating sanitary pads or providing a place for donation boxes. It is crucial to prioritize MHM to help girls stay in school and reach their full potential.

RUFFO remains committed to educating communities and providing resources to improve menstrual health management in Tanzania.
