Kotex supports women with 200,000 sanitary product donations

KIMBERLY- Clark’s Kotex remains committed to supporting Filipinas in their times of need amid the enhanced community quarantine due to the threat of Covid-19 in the Philippines. It heeded the call to support medical frontliners and vulnerable communities, donating 200,000 sanitary pads to nonprofit organizations and public hospitals in Metro Manila.

Kotex has distributed nearly P2 million worth of Kotex Natural Care pads, supporting women in at- risk areas, medical workers, genderbased groups, and new mothers across the nation.

“As a company that prides itself in producing personal care essentials, we remain committed to support nationwide efforts to address this health crisis,” says Michael Vainio, general manager of Kimberly- Clark Philippines. “Access to feminine hygiene products is currently harder due to limitations in mobility, resources, and time. Through our donation, we want to help ensure the accessibility to these necessities so women can safely manage their menstruation with dignity during these trying times.”

Kotex is working with Power In Her Story, I Support the Girls, Project Smile, and Frontline Feeders PH. Products were also delivered to Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital, Ospital ng Makati, East Avenue Medical Center, National Children’s Hospital, Valenzuela Medical Hospital, and Taguig Pateros District Hospital to help medical staffers and new mothers through the ongoing crisis.
