    Deborah Chemutai of AIC Cheptonon Secondary school celebrated by the RUBiS Energy Kenya Group Managing Director - Mr. Jean Christian Bergeron after winning 4km Girls run during the RUBiS GirlsRun at Kapsisiywa Primary School, Nandi County.

    RUBiS Energy Kenya has partnered with GirlsRunPeriod and the Women Development Centre (WODEC) to host the GirlsRun event for a second year to promote girls’ health and well-being.

    In addition to supporting women’s economic opportunities to end period poverty across Kenya.

    The run was held in Kapsisiywa, Nandi County and brought together over 3,000 girls from local schools who benefitted from the distribution of Sanikits and the provision of menstrual health education.

    RUBiS Energy Kenya Group Managing Director, Mr Jean-Christian Bergeron said that a key component of their commitment to being a responsible company is to bring a positive impact to the community.

    “The GirlsRun initiative seeks to raise awareness on period poverty and menstrual health. Through the provision of menstrual hygiene management and distribution of Sanikits, we support the girls’ physical, mental, and social well-being while using sport as an avenue to promote this agenda.”

    Partners in the RUBiS GirlsRun include GirlsRun Period, Women Development Centre East Africa (WODEC), Athletics Kenya, and the Nandi County Government.

    Speaking during the event, GirlsRunPeriod Founder, Susan Namulindwa said “Girls and young women continuously face challenges in menstrual health. By bringing together different partners and empowering the women within the communities to educate and support these girls, we uplift more than just the community; we uplift the whole nation.”

    The Kapsisiywa event was a follow-up to the inaugural RUBiS GirlsRun held in Iten in January 2022.
