Rubis energy sponsors marathon to promote menstrual hygiene

NAIROBI, Kenya, Jan 24 – RUBiS Energy Kenya has sponsored the GirlsRun marathon, an initiative supporting menstrual hygiene, in partnership with Women Development Centre (WODEC) and Kenya Community Sports Foundation (KESOFO).

This is in preparation of the GirlsRun Marathon that will be taking place in October this year.

The GirlsRun initiative seeks to support the Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) program run by the Women Development Centre (WODEC) which supports girls through this stage of life and locally produces reusable sanitary pad kits.

RUBiS Energy Kenya Group Managing Director Jean-Christian Bergeron said social initiatives are a key component of RUBiS Energy’s commitment to being a responsible company that brings a positive impact to the community.

“The GirlsRun gives us the opportunity to promote health, education, and physical activity as a catalyst to raise awareness and support around the issue of girls’ health and wellbeing. Our focus on menstrual hygiene and period poverty initiatives through the donation of the reusable sanitary pad kits will help the girls access the products they need and boost their confidence while uplifting women’s groups and the local economy in an environmentally conscious manner,” said Mr. Bergeron.

Speaking during the event, the Women Development Centre Director, Milkah Cherotich said “We are pleased to partner with RUBiS to support girls stay in school and reach their potential. Through their funding, we have been able to host sessions on Menstrual Hygiene Management, produce and distribute washable sanitary pads to the hard-to-reach girl populations in Kenya.”
