Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) continues to champion community development through its campaign to end menstrual poverty, with the latest outreach taking place last week in Nampundwe.

The initiative aims to empower young people, especially girls in rural areas, by equipping them with essential knowledge and practical skills in menstrual health and hygiene management. The program is set to expand across all of KCM's areas of operation, reaching additional communities throughout October.

KCM has partnered with Innersight Vision Partners, a well-established organization that trains youths to produce sanitary pads and supplies menstrual hygiene products. Having previously worked with companies like Airtel, Innersight Vision Partners welcomed KCM's involvement, emphasising the significant impact this collaboration will have in eradicating menstrual poverty.

During the Nampundwe event, boys and girls received training on personal hygiene, while the girls also learned about menstrual health management.
Following the sessions, participants were trained to make reusable sanitary pads, a valuable skill that promotes menstrual hygiene and empowers young Deople with practical knowledge.

Through the training, youths will also acquire the skills to make sanitary pads, equipping them not only to maintain proper menstrual hygiene but also to create a source of sustainable income.

In total, 2,500 sanitary pads were distributed among young people and schoolgirls in the area, benefiting 500 girls and ensuring immediate support for those who need it most. The program is ongoing, with quarterly distributions planned to guarantee a consistent supply of sanitary products to schools and communities, particularly in rural areas where access remains limited.

Through initiatives like this, KCM continues to reaffirm its commitment to promoting health, education, and empowerment among Zambia's youth, ensuring that no girl misses school because of menstrual poverty.
