[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Yuhan-Kimberly announced on the 10th that it has signed a business partnership agreement with the Korean School Health Teachers Association to support menstrual education projects at special schools.

The signing ceremony held on the 9th was attended by Lee Hokyung, Vice President of Yuhan-Kimberly's Personal Care Division, and Cha Mihyang, President of the Korean School Health Teachers Association, among others. Through this business agreement, Yuhan-Kimberly will provide a total of 102,616 sanitary pads free of charge, including educational tools for sanitary pad replacement and the Good Feel First Menstruation Panty Kit, which allows female students to repeatedly practice at home, to 127 special schools nationwide.

Since 1972, Yuhan-Kimberly has been conducting menstrual education with the Korean School Health Teachers Association to help female students smoothly experience menarche. Recently, to ensure that female students with disabilities can maintain equal menstrual rights, they collaborated with the association to create the Good Feel First Menstruation Panty and educational tools for special school teachers.

Furthermore, both parties will strengthen collaboration in developing health and hygiene content and education alongside on-site education conducted at schools. Recently, they produced and distributed video educational materials teaching hygienic and easy sanitary pad replacement methods, as well as a Wise Home Life card news addressing family infection prevention methods to overcome COVID-19.

A Yuhan-Kimberly official stated, "Since 2016, we have been donating sanitary pads through the 'Cheer Up, Daughters' campaign to help underprivileged groups, especially female students' health and hygiene," adding, "Having donated over 6 million pads to date, we plan to donate more than 1 million 'Good Feel' sanitary pads again this year."
