In a move aimed at improving menstrual hygiene and promoting access to affordable sanitary solutions for students, Kiromo Teenz has officially signed a sponsorship agreement with Piao Piao pads. This partnership will span an entire academic year, covering three school terms.
This partnership is set to bring much-needed support to young girls in schools across Uganda by providing them with affordable and safe sanitary pads, alongside educational initiatives on menstrual health. The initiative aims to help young girls manage their menstrual hygiene with dignity, while reducing absenteeism due to lack of access to sanitary products.
Supporting Menstrual Health and Education
Speaking about the partnership, MC Ollo, , the team leader of Kiromo Teenz emphasized the importance of addressing menstrual hygiene challenges in schools. “Many young girls miss school because they lack access to proper menstrual products. This partnership with Piao Piao Sanitary Pads is part of our broader mission to support student welfare, ensuring that every girl can attend school without interruptions due to menstrual health issues.”
As part of the partnership, Piao Piao Sanitary Pads will be actively involved in Kiromo’s weekly school tours, which reach around 40 schools per term and impact over 20,000 students. Piao Piao will distribute free sanitary pads to students and engage them in educational talks on menstrual hygiene, equipping them with knowledge on how to manage their periods safely and hygienically.
A Shared Commitment to Empowerment
This collaboration is more than just a business deal—it’s a joint effort to empower girls across Uganda. Piao Piao Sanitary Pads, known for its high-quality, affordable sanitary products, has committed to supporting menstrual hygiene in schools, helping young girls focus on their education without the barrier of inadequate menstrual care.
“We are thrilled to partner with Kiromo Teenz, to make a real difference in the lives of young girls,” said the country director for Piao Piao Sanitary Pads. “By providing affordable sanitary pads and educating girls about menstrual health, we are helping them stay in school and maintain their self-esteem. This is a critical issue that we are proud to address through this partnership.”
Looking to the Future
The partnership will also see Piao Piao Sanitary Pads featured prominently in Kiromo’s school tours and holiday events, where the brand will receive visibility through branding, social media promotions, and on-ground activations. Piao Piao will be a part of the key sponsor for the events, further solidifying its role in supporting youth and education.
With the collaboration set to roll out across the country, both Kiromo Brand House and Piao Piao Sanitary Pads are optimistic about the positive impact this will have on the lives of students, particularly young girls who struggle with menstrual hygiene challenges.
