Hello community members,
Giving Tuesday is fast approaching. Annually on December 3rd, we take the time as a community to reflect on the wonderful efforts made in Engari, Uganda and the challenges for the year ahead. Two programs you made possible in 2024 were the Computer Literacy and Menstrual Hygiene projects; essential needs for students in our partner schools. Our Menstrual Hygiene program in Engari has provided significant relief to a number of our students. However, there are still many young women in our partner school who are still lacking necessary hygiene projects. This holiday season, amongst the stressors and joys that we all face, we ask that you take the time to remember and support our students in Engari.
Each menstrual hygiene kit costs only $5 and can provide a student with the security and comfort to focus on their school day. Without these kits, students may miss up to four days a month due to menstrual cycles. Kits are sourced through AFRIPads, which produces kits and employs women in Uganda to help create sustainable menstrual products for their communities.
We hope that you will choose to continue supporting these efforts in Engari. Our community members in Uganda and internationally thank you for your generosity and support.
Thank you,
