Helping the girls have a smooth sailing in school during what they term as ``The most difficult time``, by providing sanitary pads.
Our role at A PACK A MONTH is not only to meet the immediate sanitary pads needs but also to equip these girls & young women with life-skills & mentorship hence reducing and eventually eradicating transactional sex.
