Dignified Menstruation is Everyone's Desire

By Bob Maahe | Executive Director

Not her name (Isabella). Isabella sat in the corner of the class while her fellow young girls were busy receiving packages of sanitary pads

After a while UYSTO field officer intervened and asked the teacher what about the other child? she has missed. And the teacher said um um and rushed to her and asked what was going on with Isabella. She busted and cried, her cry captured everyone's attention, all gazed at her in silence.

In spite of Isabella eyes full of tears, she was able to say these words " I know we could be a burden from the bottom of the hearts of all those people who donate for supporting us acquire such services in order for us to stay in schools and be of great value to our country in the future. Yes, it is a burden for sure, on the behalf of my class send our appreciation to all those having sleepless nights in order to make sure that a one girl far away from their homes can stay in school. " She further mentioned that one of the UYSTO field officer who always while in the menstrual hygiene training sessions, mentions that dignified menstruation is a driver to promoting girl child's success everywhere in the world. And Isabella not being far away from the field officer's statements, Isabella complimented the statement by saying that dignified menstruation should be everyone's responsibility and a right for everywhere in the world. 

She membered the time when her friend dropped out of school due to finding stigma of using rugs as menstrual materials and when she used to hide during the time of visiting the washrooms. She requested for a continuous awareness to not only the girl child but the entire school society. That this creates a strong bonded society pursuing the same goal of attaining a dignified menstruation everywhere, where everyone is responsible with the phenomena 

On the behalf of the UYSTO team, we too appreciate you all our beloved donors of this project, we know we are in the hard economies everywhere but above all you think about us.

We thank GlobalGiving for having been able to trust us and extend our project from $4000 to an increment of $16,000. We shall be monthly supporting 700 young people with sanitary pads and menstrual hygiene management training sessions, keep supporting us to achieve this together as you have been able to support us raise $4000 in the previous project.
