HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO BE YOUR SISTER'S KEEPER?

Two months ago Ukabila ZI Society began a program titled ‘’My Sister’s Keeper’’ whose main objective is to help school girls from economically challenged backgrounds stay in school during their monthly periods by providing them with free sanitary towels. During the first two months 30 school girls benefited from the program and were largely drawn from Moonlight Education Center in Dagoretti, Nairobi. 

Below: some students from the school pose for photographs after receiving several packs of sanitary towels courtesy of Ukabila ZI Society.

The donation was made successful thanks to generous contributions by well wishers across the country. You can join thirty other well wishers who have already signed up to contribute Ksh. 100 every month towards the ‘’My Sister’s Keeper’’ program by sending your name and contact details to ukabilazisociety@gmail.com . ALL proceeds go towards purchasing sanitary towels for school girls in schools earmarked for support by Ukabila ZI Society. However, you are also welcome as an individual/organization to help us identify schools and students who deserve to be assisted through this program. 

Remember that a girl will skip school for up to a total of three school months in a year due to lack of sanitary towels during her menstrual period. She will lose a great deal in her academic life if nothing is done about it. Above all she will suffer enormous psychological and emotional disturbance if the unfortunate trend continues.
