Lake Elementaita Mountain Lodge, through the Superior Homes Foundation, is continuing its commitment to community empowerment with its monthly menstrual health drive. This weekend, the Foundation visited Thugunui Secondary School in Nakuru County, one of the six schools it supports in the Elementaita region, where over 200 packets of sanitary pads were donated to ensure girls can continue their education without the interruption of menstrual health challenges.
Mr. Mahinda Maina, the Principal of Thugunui Secondary, expressed the significant impact of the initiative. "These donations have helped the school by reducing absenteeism among girls and have also assisted in ensuring the completion of their studies,” he said.
The donation was accompanied by a mentorship session aimed at empowering the students. During the session, the students engaged in interactive discussions on academic success, personal growth, and career aspirations, designed to inspire them and equip them with the confidence and tools to thrive in their education.
“As stakeholders, we are very keen on ensuring that we support and ensure the prosperity of the members of this community. By donating feminine hygiene products to the schools in our community, we ensure that girls stay in school throughout the year and their dignity is maintained,” said Patrick Njoroge, General Manager of Lake Elementaita Mountain Lodge.
Superior Homes Foundation’s monthly menstrual health initiative is making a difference for girls across Kenya. The Foundation currently supports 10,109 girls across 34 schools by regularly restocking sanitary pads and providing mentorship programs. This effort aims to ensure that menstrual health is not a barrier to education, helping to keep girls in school and allowing them to focus on their studies and future careers.
The Foundation remains committed to expanding its reach and forming new partnerships, working to break down barriers to education and ensuring every girl has the opportunity to succeed.
