The Ministry of Education has issued a statement regarding the program to provide sanitary napkins to schoolgirls.
The statement states that the program to provide sanitary napkins to schoolgirls this year will be implemented only through 4 trading institutions registered with the Sri Lanka Standards Institution and certified with SLS – 1732/2022 that will visit schools.
Accordingly, the Ministry of Education informs that since the relevant institutions will visit schools and provide sanitary napkin packets to the students, sanitary napkins cannot be purchased from any institution other than those institutions.
