Coin operated condom and sanitary pads dispenser machines have so-far been fitted in Hotels like Hotel Africana, Capital pub, Punchline Bar and Cherries in Kabalagala, Sax pub in the city centre, club Silk and Ange-Noir discotheque in industrial area and will be distributed in more hotels, universities and other popular places around town, as well as sanitary machines will be installed in schools.

The condom and sanitary pads dispenser machines can accommodate 64 packs of condoms and 38 sanitary towels at any one time, and do not require electricity to run and are therefore user-friendly to those living in areas that suffer load shedding. They are mechanically operated with reliable metal cabinets that run on alkaline batteries.

This is in the wake of the need to find preventive solutions to the HIV/Aids scourge.For Shs500, one will be able to access a pack of condoms.
