|Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|**The charity has continued its steadfast**
**support in East Africa, particularly in Rwanda.**
**Avasara has played a pivotal role in providing**
**essential access to sanitary products and**
**establishing safe, clean spaces for their use.**
**Beyond the immediate health implications of**
**inadequate sanitary products, the charity**
**recognizes the profound impact on women**
**and girls' education, wellbeing, and overall**
**lives.**
**Despite Rwanda's commendable decision in**
**December 2019 to eliminate VAT on sanitary**
**products, accessibility remains a challenge**
**for many women and girls, especially those in**
**rural areas. Avasara strives to bridge this gap**
**by not only addressing immediate needs but**
**also fostering education and awareness**
**during periods. This commitment reflects the**
**charity's dedication to creating sustainable**
**and meaningful change for beneficiaries and**
**contributing to broader societal**
**improvements.**|
