At least 40 girls aged 11-15 years in Loreng, Letea ward in Turkana West Sub County on Monday received menstrual hygiene kits from Plan International.
The donation included sanitary towels, undergarments, sanitizers, tissues, handwashing detergents, and body lotions, all meant to improve their hygiene.
The girls were also trained on how to use the sanitary towels, both reusable and disposable.
The girls could not hide their joy as they narrated how the support from Plan International had provided them with the necessary hygiene kits but also helped address stigma by openly talking about menstruation as a normal reproductive process.
