The School-Based Eco Sanitary Towel ATM Launch.

To commemorate the in partnership with will launch an Eco-Friendly Biodegradable Sanitary Towel ATM at Osupuko Primary School marking the beginning of a new school-based approach to menstrual dignity and access in Kenya. The initiative will introduces a sustainable and stigma-free system for providing sanitary towels directly within schools.

The launch aims to ensure that girls have reliable access to safe, biodegradable menstrual products without missing class due to period poverty. The ATM system allows discreet, dignified and easy access to sanitary towels while also promoting environmentally responsible disposal and product use.

Beyond distribution, the initiative also seeks to challenge stigma around menstruation by normalizing open conversations within school environments. Positioning menstrual health as a key pillar of education retention, dignity and gender equality.

The launch will also demonstrate how innovation and collaboration can create scalable solutions for girls’ empowerment and climate-conscious health interventions.

My Voice Counts is more than a booklet. 🌸
It is a child-friendly guide created to help primary school children understand themselves, express their feelings and grow with confidence.

Many children grow up afraid to ask questions about their bodies, emotions, dreams and the challenges they face every day. Through the My Voice Counts Booklet, we continue to create safe conversations that help children learn, speak up and know that their voices matter.

The booklet uses simple, relatable and age-appropriate lessons to discuss:
1️⃣Self-esteem and confidence
2️⃣Understanding our bodies
3️⃣Menstrual health and hygiene
4️⃣ Personal safety and speaking out
5️⃣Friendship and peer pressure
6️⃣Dreams, leadership, and goal setting
7️⃣Emotional wellness and self-expression

We believe every child deserves to be heard, protected and empowered.

When children are given knowledge early, they grow into confident young people who can make informed choices and stand up for themselves and others.

Every page reminds a child:
🖊️ I am important.
🖊️ I can speak up.
🖊️ My voice counts.

Kenswed Girl Empowerment Program continues to prioritize dignity, safeguarding, inclusion and long-term resilience for every girl and child supported.
