In a powerful stride toward promoting girls’ education and dignity, Face South Sudan has launched a menstrual hygiene initiative at Upper Nile Secondary School, distributing sanitary pads to female students in need.
The initiative, aimed at reducing school absenteeism caused by lack of menstrual products, was met with gratitude and excitement from students and teachers alike. Many girls in South Sudan miss several days of school each month due to the unavailability of sanitary pads, a challenge that Face South Sudan is working to eliminate.
🎒 Empowering Through Access
- The organization provided hundreds of sanitary pads to girls, ensuring they can attend classes consistently and with confidence.
- Teachers at Upper Nile Secondary School praised the effort, noting a visible improvement in attendance and morale among female students
