Thank you to all of our generous supporters! Your contributions have allowed Joy of Community Foundation to provide over 120 reusable menstrual kits to our partner schools in Engari, Uganda. This removes a major obstacle for girls attending school and caring for their bodies. Because of you, these girls will now have the necessary products, knwoledge, and comfort to ensure that their education is not unnecessarily interrupted.
These "school girl menstrual kits" were purchased from AFRIpads. AFRIpads' factory is located in southwestern Uganda; meaning that your contributions also allowed us to support the local economysign. The menstrual kits include 5 reusable menstrual pads of varying sizes; providing the girls in our programs with menstrual hygiene products that last over a year. Additionally, AFRIpads provides menstrual hygiene education toolkits that will be used by Joy of Community to ensure the girls in our program have the knowledge they need to care for themselves.
If you would like to further contribute to the education and healthcare of girls in Uganda, please consider donating to our general fund that covers healthcare and community development costs or sponsoring a student in one of our partner schools.
Thank you again for your generosity and support,
Joy of Community Foundation
