In Samburu County, many girls face challenges that prevent them from attending school or participating regularly in child-friendly spaces due to barriers and stigma encountered during their menstrual cycle.
The 2020 World Bank Group report revealed that 57 per cent of adolescent girls stay at home during menstruation because of the lack of private changing rooms at school.
However, awareness sessions on menstrual hygiene management for girls, which address cultural and traditional norms, along with the distribution of hygiene kits by the Samburu Girls Foundation, have supported adolescent girls in Samburu schools and communities.
