Always donates 20,000 pads to Kind

Always donated 20,000 Always pads the non-profit organisation, Kids in Need of Direction (Kind) as part of a hamper donation drive to families financially affected by covid19.

AMCO, the distribution and marketing company for Always products, has maintained a close relationship with Kind through Always’ End Period Poverty campaign, which distributes pads to schoolgirls.

Reshma Geawan, AMCO business unit head for Proctor & Gamble, said the organisation was pleased to be part of the Kind initiative.

“Our goal is to support families in need, especially during this difficult time by helping people take care of their personal health and hygiene,” she said.

Kind will be distributing hampers directly from its Laventille headquarters to East Port of Spain, Beetham, Laventille, Morvant, San Juan and Cunupia. Kind is also co-ordinating with other civil society organisations to help distribute hampers to other communities across the country.

These include Servol Junior Life Centre for Cascade, Belmont and St Ann’s; Blanchisseuse Community Centre for Blanchisseuse and La Fillette; St Vincent De Paul for Paramin, Cameron, Maracas and Maraval; the Queen's Park Cricket Club for Carenage, Cocorite, Bagatelle and Diego Martin; and Hillside Community Centre for St Joseph, Curepe and St Augustine.

The NGO is also distributing hampers to the Shelter for Battered Women and Children and the Credo Foundation.

AMCO is encouraging people to continue supporting the Always End Period Poverty campaign, which triggers a donation for every pack of Always pads purchased.
