Student leaders from Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) in Sintok Ms Khausalya and Mr Vikesh briefed us on the first Sanitary Pad Bank Project in UUM aimed at alleviating period poverty which was a real problem amongst some students in the School of Economics, Finance and Banking of UUM. The bank was launched in July 2023 and they see about 60 pads a day being utilized by students. The student population of the School is about 3,500.

Women Empowerment by Bernard Chan

Rotary Club of Bandar Sungai Petani sponsored 2 ladies to District 3300 Action Group on Women Empowerment's Symposium on 13 May 2023 in Kuala Lumpur. We are also proud that our Rotarian Hery DeHaan was one of the moderators at the symposium.

Dear Rotary Sungai Petani,

Greetings of the day.

We'd like to thank you for providing support for our participation in the WOW symposium that have been held on 13.05.2023 (Saturday). Your sponsorship allowed us to meet and experience the trends associated with the women empowerment niche.

All delivered topics during the symposium are intriguing and demanding in accordance with current needs. Moreover, all speakers are influential and very knowledgeable in their field. Delivering what's promised on time is a big credibility builder.

In general, a better environment for women where they aren’t forced to choose between their dreams and families, where their goals aren’t considered insignificant or impossible to achieve and where they are allowed to nurture and grow as much as they want should be created. This symposium is very beneficial to us and efforts like this should be continued to allow more women to gain this valuable experience.

Thank you.
Best wishes,

Adilla and Hidayah
