Stanbic Bank donates reusable sanitary pads to teenage girls in Volta Region

More than 200 schoolgirls in the Volta Region have received reusable sanitary pads from the Wealth and Investment Team of Stanbic Bank Ghana as part of efforts to reduce menstrual-related absenteeism in schools.

The donation, made in partnership with the Amenuveve SIV Organisation, targeted six schools in the Peki Dzake and Hodzo communities. Each beneficiary received a pack containing four reusable pads, along with drinks, bottled water, stationery, toiletries, plates, spoons and clothes.

The presentation began at Peki Dzake EP Junior High School and continued to five other junior high schools in Hodzo – Hodzoga M/A, Hodzo Aviepe R/C, Hodzo Alavanyo R/C, Hodzove M/A, and Hodzo Anyiboboe.

Speaking during the presentation, Sheila Andah, Head of Stanbic Wealth and Investment, underscored the impact of menstrual stigma on girls’ education, especially in underserved communities.

“Too many girls miss school because they are unable to access basic hygiene products. This small effort is about giving them the means to stay healthy, maintain dignity, and focus on their education.

“These young women have the potential to become doctors, lawyers, journalists, and leaders of tomorrow. They have the potential to shape the future of our communities and the generations ahead,” she said.

Mrs. Andah also stressed the bank’s commitment to social impact beyond financial services.

“At Stanbic, our purpose is to drive Ghana’s growth and that includes empowering young people. Whether we return to these schools or reach out to other communities, supporting the girl child will always be a priority,” she stated.

The girls were also taken through a session on menstrual hygiene and taught how to properly use and maintain the reusable pads.

Roberta Donkor, Programme Director for Amenuveve SIV Organisation, advised the beneficiaries to maintain proper hygiene and abstain from sharing pads. She also encouraged them to remain focused on their education and personal development.

Fourteen‑year‑old beneficiary, Abigail Ayayi, shared her excitement, “I used to worry about not having pads and sometimes used rags. Now, I can attend school even when I’m menstruating. Thank you, Stanbic.”

This outreach aligns with Stanbic Bank’s broader corporate social responsibility goals, which focus on education, health, and youth empowerment.
