Bauchi NGO Calls for Menstrual Hygiene Product Donations for Flood Displaced Women and Girls

The Attah Sisters Helping Hands (ASHH) Foundation, based in Bauchi, has emphasized the urgent need for the distribution of sanitary pads and other menstrual hygiene products to women and girls displaced by recent flooding in Maiduguri and surrounding areas.

During a press briefing on Sunday, ASHH Executive Director Comfort Ene Attah highlighted the critical situation faced by those living in temporary camps due to the floods. She noted that the displacement has severely impacted access to essential hygiene products.

In response to this pressing issue, the ASHH Foundation is actively seeking donations of menstrual hygiene products for affected women and girls currently residing in various camps throughout Borno State. Attah initiated this campaign after witnessing the challenges faced by women and girls in obtaining sanitary pads during their menstrual periods while living in these difficult conditions. 

The foundation's efforts aim to address a vital aspect of health and dignity for displaced individuals, underscoring the importance of adequate menstrual hygiene management in crisis situations.
