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. Kudos to the team for their visionary effort put in to improve the lives of students.
