It was too shameful to watch the feature. Parents too have to take responsibility to ensure that can provide some basic necessities for their children poverty notwithstanding. We too have to be wary of the commercial interests who have an eye on the market and would like to portray hopelessness and the need for " serekali isaidie" and the need for easily available and alternative solutions.

Simple local solutions that can work for the poor should be encouraged too.

That observation is really important.I wonder how much a factory for such would cost.Otherwise with these kind of things happening everyday somebody somewhere will always capitalise on our failures.Just like the jigger issue while i know its easier and cheaper to educate people on cleanliness than waiting for cures.

A nation that does not treat its Children and mothers fairly will always be judged harsh by history. Its too painful to watch features of how our children in some parts of the country are forced into early marriages, others have their bodies mutilated by parents and now we cannot afford basic hygiene for our Children. Some parents should be thrown into jail for Child neglect and forcefully "made not to have capacity to reproduce" and spare the county shame.

Just like as a nation we offer free primary education and now free laptops, every school going girl esp at Primary and Secondary level should be provided with sanitary towels at taxpayers cost. Such simple gestures will ensure all girls are enrolled in schools and we all appreciate our ladies.

Personally, my proudest shopping moment is when i get sent to buy them for my wife and i carry then with a lot of pride as a man.

Granted the feature was very incisive and educative.Timing was pathetic to say the least.

hapa i agree with @impunity. Prime time news is family time. Mpaka mother in law could be vsting. Na kajunior kaanze maswali
