A
group of concerned comrades from Moi University Main Campus are
planning to launch an initiative to collect sanitary pads to help girls
in Baringo County. This Follows a news story run on Citizen T.V in which
it was revealed that some girls from that county are using animal skin
as sanitary pads when they experiencing their monthly periods. Though
female politicians from that region have rubbished the story as
propaganda, many Kenyans have condemned them for their irresponsible
utterances instead of coming up with ways of helping.
The students from Moi University are
planning a mega collection of sanitary pads which will go into helping
the affected girls in Baringo County. The initiative is being launched
next week where they are planning to set up different collection points
in the whole campus. The group is hoping that the whole Moi University
fraternity will embrace the initiative and change the lives of the
girls. The initiative is planned to bring on board the University
Administration, students, teaching and non-teaching staff and by
extension well-wishers and other corporate bodies.
The initiative is planned to run on a
semesterly basis. Those willing to be part of the initiative will be
required to donate sanitary pads and for those unable to do so will be
at liberty to give cash equivalent to the number of pads they would wish
to donate. The move is being initiated by Moi University students who
feel that the affected girls in Baringo have the right to acquire the
sanitary pads despite their low financial capability. The pioneers of
the initiative include Carren Ondwasi, Linda Ng’ang’a, Linah Muligo,
Judith Nyango, Henry Orimbo, Shaddy Mweke, Domnic Mitiro, Clif Obwago
among others.
