The fact that AWDO gave us these MAHUMBEZI (washable pad) is the answer to many of the questions we face during our monthly period. It's a good thing as most of us have a lack of cleanliness. Thank you for your support and we wish that you continued support a lot of poor students.
In order to prevent substance, abuse and unwanted pregnancies among young people, I own the right answer award. I'm going to keep learning the right things. I thank AWDO for sharing this information.
I’m called UWIDUHAYE Charlotte, I was with no lavatory. I thank AWDO for this good lavatory they build to me and my children. May God bless them.
My name is MUJAWAYEZU Epiphanie, I'm very happy for receiving school material for my child. My problem was recognized by the school authorities, that I even had to work in the neighbors' farmers to get school materials. May God's blessing be upon AWDO and their partners.
