Kampala , Uganda – 26.June .2024 – At Chil Femtech Center, we believe every learner in Africa deserves a healthy learning environment. That's why we're excited to announce the expansion of our innovative E-Hygiene Shop program to schools participating in our telemedicine initiative! This program empowers learners with access to essential hygiene products from trusted makers, including reusable sanitary pads for girls, all on a credit basis with payment due at the end of the term.
"We've seen how a lack of basic hygiene supplies can disrupt a learner's education," says Dr. Shamim , CEO of Chil Femtech Center. "The E-Hygiene Shop bridges that gap, ensuring all learners have what they need to stay healthy and focused in school."
More Than Just Products, Building Confidence
Imagine a young learner missing school because of her periods.During the pilot , we met Amina, a 14-year-old girl at a partner school in Dar es salam , who faced this reality. "It was difficult to keep clean during my menstrual days ," she recalls. "But thanks to the E-Hygiene Shop, I can attend school every day with confidence knowing that all I need to do is to visit the school sick bay ,get a piece of sanitary pad together with a packet of dettol soap on credit and then my mother pays the money for these products when she comes for visiting day or at the end of the term."
Beyond hygiene, the E-Hygiene Shop provides girls with the tools to manage their periods with dignity. This not only improves their health but also boosts their self-esteem and allows them to fully participate in school activities.
A Sustainable Approach for a Brighter Future
Chil Femtech Center is committed to the program's long-term success. We're working with partners , participating schools to ensure learners' privacy when accessing hygiene products and raise awareness about proper menstrual hygiene practices. Additionally, we're developing strategies for a robust credit system that supports ongoing program growth.
Together, we can empower learners to reach their full potential! Join us in supporting the E-Hygiene Shop program.
