The United Nations Children Educational Fund in collaboration with Tonj State education ministry distributes sanitary needs to Tonj Girls Primary School in the area.
Education Minister Santino Deng Madut Deng appreciates UNCEF for supporting school girls to reduce their challenges to keep them in school and learn.
Deng Madut says the support is expected to benefit 1000 girls in Tonj State and will reach the counties as soon as possible.
The Minister appeals to teachers to make sure the support goes to the rightful people as it is purposely for their learning.
He cautions girls against selling them, warning that anyone found will be arrested and jailed.
The Director General in the ministry of General Education and Instruction Manyang Atak thaui advises the girls to use the sanitary kits for their own benefit and not to give them out for their family members.
The officials spoke to Don Bosco Radio during the distribution in Tonj Girl’s Primary School.
