The Press Secretary and Spokesperson to the Vice President, Ama Pratt, has described the successful rollout of the free sanitary pad initiative as a major milestone for the Office of the Vice President.
Speaking on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, she noted that the initiative is aimed at improving menstrual hygiene and reducing absenteeism among young schoolgirls.
“Through our office, we have been able to roll out the free sanitary pad initiative. Supplying sanitary pads to schoolchildren is a very big achievement for us,” she said.
While she could not provide specific figures or the exact mode of distribution, she explained that the Ministry of Education is responsible for distributing the pads to schools.
Ms. Pratt also highlighted other social interventions, including the full payment of all caterers under the School Feeding Programme, as part of the government’s broader effort to enhance the welfare of schoolchildren.
“This is a collective achievement, and we are proud of the strides we’re making,” she added.
