Through the Keep Her in School program, F SSIBU Mission Foundation is expanding menstrual health education to two additional schools in Eastern Uganda, reaching girls who continue to face barriers caused by menstrual poverty, misinformation and stigma. For many girls, menstruation can become a monthly challenge that affects their confidence, attendance, concentration and participation in school.
This expansion will create safe and supportive learning spaces where girls can receive accurate, age-appropriate information about menstruation, personal hygiene, menstrual management and body changes. Girls will be encouraged to ask questions openly and understand that menstruation is a normal biological process rather than something to fear or feel ashamed of.
The program will also engage teachers and relevant community stakeholders so that girls receive consistent support both at school and at home. By strengthening the knowledge and confidence of girls, we aim to reduce the barriers that can contribute to absenteeism and school dropout.
Donor support makes this expansion possible. Every contribution helps us take practical menstrual health education closer to girls who need it most, while strengthening schools as safer and more supportive environments for adolescent girls.
Our goal is simple but powerful: to ensure that menstruation never becomes a reason for a girl to miss school, lose confidence or abandon her education.
