POSB Bank has donated sanitary wear to female learners at Siachilaba Secondary School in Binga as part of its ongoing “Donate a Pad and Keep a Girl in School” initiative.
The programme allows POSB staff to contribute sanitary pads or donate leave days, which are converted into cash to purchase menstrual hygiene products.
Each female learner at Siachilaba Secondary School received sanitary pads sufficient for a year, aiming to reduce absenteeism, enhance classroom concentration and uphold dignity during menstruation.
POSB chief executive officer Garainashe Changunda reaffirmed the bank’s commitment to advancing education, particularly in rural and remote communities.
“As the people’s bank, POSB is dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the communities we serve, especially in remote districts such as Binga,” Changunda said.
“The Donate A Pad initiative stresses our commitment to addressing menstrual health challenges that continue to impede girls’ education and empowerment.”
The bank has also provided sanitary pads to Neruvanga Secondary School in Masvingo and equipped seven rural schools with 5kVA solar power kits.
Siachilaba Secondary School deputy head Njabulo Moyo expressed gratitude to POSB for its continued commitment to education and youth empowerment.
