Ministry of Education Launches Nationwide Distribution of Hygiene Kits to Students

The Ministry of Education has launched the nationwide distribution of hygiene kits to more than 9,000 students in selected public, private, and inclusive schools across Liberia’s 16 educational counties.

Led by Assistant Minister for Student Personnel Services, Hon. Sona T. Sesay, the initiative forms part of the Ministry’s efforts to promote student well-being, improve school attendance, and support retention and completion, particularly for girls.

Each hygiene kit contains essential personal care items, including deodorant, body spray, a comb, a toothbrush, toothpaste, and sanitary pads for girls, helping students attend school with greater confidence, dignity, and readiness to learn.

The initiative also helps ease the financial burden on families while supporting safe, healthy, and inclusive learning environments where every learner has the opportunity to succeed.

Implemented under the Ministry’s priorities for Girls and Inclusive Education and Instructional and School Supplies, the initiative reflects the Government of Liberia’s continued commitment to removing barriers that prevent children from accessing and completing quality education.
