Crown Motors Group has
today announced that it will be donating 500 dignity kits to Heels4Pads
Foundation. The dignity kits will be geared towards meeting the menstrual needs
of girls and women in the coastal region who are adversely affected by
challenges that stem from period poverty. Each dignity kit will cover each
woman’s menstrual needs for a duration of up to 2 years.
The News release states further that the Heels4Pads Foundation Trust which is under Sister Speaks Global
looks to raise and amplify awareness on period poverty while empowering women
and girls to advance gender equality and equity through the menstrual health
approach. The initiative employs innovation to raise, distribute sanitary
towels and offer MHM education to girls and women in impoverished backgrounds
in Kenya as well as destigmatize menstruation and menstrual hygiene as a whole.
It also seeks to influence policies through advocacy for menstrual equality.
“At Crown Motors, we recognize the larger responsibility that we need to play and which goes beyond our clientele. We strongly feel that it is our duty to identify the needs of the less privileged in our communities and offer them the support they need.” Says Tony Voorhout.
“A great society is built on the bricks of elevation and building confidence. And confidence is exactly what these dignity kits will give and restore to all these women and girls.” Adds Maliha Sheikh.
According to the news release issued by Glass House PR,
the event will be headlined by Nairobi County Women Representative, Esther
Passaris, who will be the guest speaker. Additionally, the dignity kits
will be flagged off by Crown Motors Group Managing Director, Tony Voorhout and
Maliha Sheikh, National Sales Manager for Crown Motors alongside Heels4Pads
Foundation Founders, Monicah Muhoya, Angela Waweru, Co-founder Angela Muiruri
as well as Apollo Tours and Travel Marketing Director, Agnes Wamai
