The inability to effetively manage menstruation 1 out of 10 african school girls skips school or drop out of school entirly due to a lack of menstual products and poor sanitation. This critical unavailabilit of sanitayry products in uganda is a major barrier to education for girls of school going age. This is where your donation is helping to  change this reality. 

We still need your support to buy and asemble more local plant that will produce safe and affordable sanitory pads to benefit our girls and we shall continue to educate and creat awareness to break the myth around menstral health in Uganda.
