Arusha. More than 3,000 girls from underserved communities in Arusha are expected to benefit from a campaign providing menstrual health education and sanitary pads to help reduce barriers to school attendance during menstruation.

The campaign will be implemented through the fourth Arusha Moyo Marathon, organised by Moyo Medicare Hospital and scheduled for September 20, 2026, at Sheikh Amri Abeid Stadium.

Speaking to journalists yesterday, the marathon’s organising secretary, Hosiana Michael, said the event, themed “Safe menstruation, education without barriers”, would attract more than 1,500 participants competing in 2.5km, 5km, 10km and 21km races.
