BUIKWE – Nile Breweries Limited (NBL) staff have on Thursday, May 9 donated reusable pads worth UGX 5M to over 500 girls from 6 schools in Buikwe district.

Various studies have shown that menstrual hygiene continues to be a leading factor in increasing school dropout rate among girls in Uganda and Africa at large’

He added :

“We hope that some of you can join us in the future as employees to serve the nation better and this can only be attained if you stay focused and stay in school.

Ms. Mary Ndagire, headteacher Namiya Church of Uganda primary school applauded the team and said;

“We have many challenges as rural schools, and the lack of proper of sanitary towels is a dominant one. This donation will enable girls to concentrate in class rather than being on tension and discomfort for the fear to being embarrassed.”

“As a company, we engage in initiatives that are over and above profit-making because it is important that our communities thrive and education is one of the vehicles,” said Onapito Ekomoloit, Legal and Corporate Affairs, NBL.

He noted ;

“This is the third time were are donating reusable pads, the first was to over 300 girls in Murchison Bay primary school Luzira and 600 girls to Wakisi primary school in Jinja.
