YOUR SUPPORT IS KEEPING GIRLS IN SCHOOL AND TRANSF

By Othieno Gerald | Project Leader

Every month, thousands of girls in rural Uganda face an impossible choice: attend school without the menstrual supplies they need or stay home and miss valuable learning opportunities. For many families living in poverty, sanitary products remain an unaffordable luxury. Without intervention, girls risk falling behind in school, losing confidence, and eventually dropping out altogether.

Thanks to your compassionate support, we are changing this reality. During this reporting period, vulnerable girls received menstrual hygiene kits, reproductive health education, and mentorship that empowered them to stay in school and continue pursuing their dreams.

The recent reduction in funding for adolescent outreach services has created serious gaps in support for young people. Yet because of donors like you, girls continue to receive essential guidance, practical resources, and encouragement when they need it most.

One beneficiary shared that she previously missed up to five days of school every month. Today, she attends classes consistently and has become one of the top-performing students in her class. Her story reflects the life-changing impact of your generosity.

Every hygiene kit distributed represents more than a product—it represents dignity, confidence, and opportunity. Thank you for helping girls overcome barriers that stand between them and a brighter future. Together, we are ensuring that no girl is forced to sacrifice her education because of her period.
