DAR ES SALAAM:

The third season of the special athletic competition known as 'Run for Binti' is expected to be held on May 25 this year at Oyesterbay Stadium in Dar es Salaam.

The mission of the competition, according to the Chief Executive Officer of LSF, Lulu Ng'wanakilala, is to enable girls to get a better environment for education and reproductive health.

"In the implementation of our project of access to rights in the country, we have clearly seen that girls are facing unstoppable and preventable obstacles in accessing education, health services, and their basic rights.

"Through last year's race, we facilitated the repair and construction of toilet infrastructure and the distribution of feminine towels and environmental care by planting trees in schools and thus enabling more than 2500 students in secondary schools in Mtwara to benefit," said Lulu.
