    "content": "The Sanitary Towel Programme for girls in public schools was first launched in 2011 under the Ministry of Education, but briefly transferred to the Ministry of Public Service, Youth and Gender Affairs in the 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 financial years with a budget of Ksh470 million, before the programme reverted to the Ministry of Education. However, the programme was transferred back to the Ministry of Public Service, Gender and Affirmative Action during the current 2023/2024 Financial Year. It was to be implemented by the State Department for Gender and Affirmative Action. The programme has a critical role to play in addressing issues of gender equity in pursuit of the Government's commitment to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Kenya Vision 2030, and the Constitution of Kenya 2010. The provision of sanitary towels has ensured access, retention, performance and transition of vulnerable girls in the regions across the country. The girls now use hygienic methods to manage their menstrual health. All target schools have designated female teachers in charge. Menstrual hygiene training and information are provided to the girls."
