In honor of Menstrual Hygiene Day, celebrated globally on May 28th, BNB continues its commitment to menstrual health and environmental sustainability by donating eco-friendly reusable pads to female students in need. This initiative reflects BNB’s dedication to supporting communities and promoting sustainable practices.
Last year, BNB’s donation reached schools in the eastern regions, and this year’s focus on Samtse District highlights ongoing mission to support students across various regions. By ensuring access to reusable pads, BNB helps to break the stigma around menstruation and promotes a more inclusive and supportive educational environment for all students.
This year, BNB donated a total of 2,772 reusable pads to 1,386 female students of Tendruk Central School, Peljorling Higher Secondary School, and Dorokha Central School under Samtse Dzongkhag. This contribution aims to improve menstrual hygiene management among young girls, ensuring they have the necessary resources to stay in school and participate fully in their education.
The eco-friendly reusable pads are sourced from local entrepreneur, M/s. Zamin Friends Forever which demonstrates BNB’s support for local businesses and sustainable products. By choosing reusable pads, BNB not only addresses the immediate needs of these students but also contributes to reducing plastic waste and promoting environmentally friendly alternatives.
“At BNB, we believe in empowering young girls through education and health initiatives. Our annual donation on Menstrual Hygiene Day is a testament to ongoing efforts to support menstrual hygiene management and environmental sustainability,” said Shaym, the Samtse branch manager.
“We are proud to collaborate with local entrepreneurs like Zamin Friends Forever, who share our commitment to creating positive social and environmental impacts,” the branch manager said.
