Hundreds of schoolgirls in the Erongo Region are set to benefit from a major sanitary pad donation aimed at promoting personal hygiene, dignity and uninterrupted access to education.

The government has committed to allocating N$5 million annually to a project tackling menstrual poverty among schoolgirls and intensifying free access to skincare products for children with albinism. 

The Minister of Education, Arts, and Culture, Anna Nghipondoka, has presented the provisions, systems, and processes designed to provide sanitary materials to underprivileged schoolgirls across schools in Namibia.
