It's amazing to think that a small thing like a pad might have such a dramatic effect on someone's future.
Providing sanitary pads is just one part of our Protecting Futures program. We are also funding a health, hygiene and puberty education program that will be taught by a traveling health educator. What's more, Tampax and Always are funding a healthcare provider who will provide healthcare to the girls.
For many of the girls, this will be the first time they receive pads on a regular basis. They will learn how to use pads properly and have the opportunity to ask questions and talk openly about their bodies' changing needs.
