One of the key goals of the Free PAD Alliance was to establish a PAD Bank in one of the schools. . Presented to Papao Community Presby School in Haatso on January 30, 2024, this initiative aimed to enhance accessibility to menstrual products while promoting sustainable practices among students.

To achieve this goal, we provided reusable menstrual pads and conducted educational sessions for the girls on their proper use. This dual approach ensured that students not only received the necessary products but also understood how to use and care for them effectively.

This initiative was made possible through our collaboration with Eco-Me Africa, an organization dedicated to promoting sustainable and eco-friendly solutions in the aspect of menstrual health. Together, we aimed to empower girls with the knowledge and resources they need to manage their menstrual health confidently. The students at Papao Community Presby School were thrilled to receive the reusable menstrual pads. The introduction of this innovative solution was a refreshing change for them, sparking enthusiasm and curiosity about menstrual health. By engaging with the students and encouraging open discussions, we aimed to reduce stigma and foster a supportive environment.

The establishment of the PAD Bank is a significant step toward ensuring that all students have access to essential menstrual products. Through education and sustainable practices, the Free PAD Alliance continues to promote menstrual health and empower young girls in their communities.
