The event held tremendous promise for young girls in the region.

“Our primary goal is to address the challenges faced by girls who often lack access to sanitary pads, which can have a significant impact on their education and overall well-being,” Sellah passionately articulated. She went on to emphasise the importance of the mentorship and pad drive programs.
“Through this programme, we aim to provide essential sanitary pads to these young girls, ensuring their comfort and hygiene during their menstrual cycles.”
The initiative, aptly named the “Mama Catherine Wambilianga Pad Drive Distribution and Mentorship Programme,” was met with an overwhelming sense of appreciation and optimism from the students and their families.
This groundbreaking programme underscores the importance of menstrual hygiene and its connection to the education and well-being of young girls. It embodies a beacon of hope for an inclusive and empowering future for the girls in Bungoma County.
The event also featured mentorship sessions, where the young girls had the opportunity to interact with accomplished women from various fields. These mentors shared their experiences, inspired the girls to aim high, and encouraged them to pursue their dreams with determination and resilience.
Catherine Wambilianga’s office is taking proactive steps to transform the lives of these young girls by ensuring they have access to a fundamental necessity and providing them with the support and guidance needed to excel in their educational pursuits.
