I want to thank Moshi FM and others that have made it possible for me and other women to have access to sanitary pads. This simple but essential item has made a huge difference in our lives and allowed us to live with dignity." Neema.
Since I started using the sanitary pads, I have been able to attend school and work without any interruptions. I no longer have to worry about leaks or discomfort during the day. It has also given me a sense of dignity and self-confidence, knowing that I have access to a basic necessity that many girls and women around the world are denied. Ester

."I just wanted to share a quick story about one of my students who was struggling with her period. She was missing a lot of school because she couldn't afford to buy sanitary pads, and it was really affecting her grades and her overall well-being. I didn't know what to do to help her until Moshi fm and other Donors came in and donated some pads to our school. When I gave them to her, she was so grateful and relieved. She told me that she had been using makeshift solutions like toilet paper and old rags, and that it was really uncomfortable and embarrassing for her.
After she started using the pads, she was able to come to school more regularly and focus on her studies. Her grades improved significantly, and she seemed so much happier and more confident. I was really touched by the impact that such a small thing could have on someone's life. It's so important to address issues like period poverty and make sure that all students have access to the supplies they need to stay healthy and succeed in school." I prays to this Tanzania government looking for Tax Exemption on this sanitary pads.Teacher Leila (Shadow name)
