Ankole Region Miss Tourism Queens will soon launch an initiative dubbed “Empower Her” to support the girl child
Through the initiative, several activities will be done including crafting reusable sanitary towels as a solution to needy girls and women who can’t afford single-use pads.
Led by the 203/24 Miss Tourism Queen Hopekins Winnie they will as well train ladies on how to make such sanitary towels so that they can support their fellow women and also use them as a source of income.
