Your support is enabling 15 young mothers to make sanitary pads which they supply to school going girls to help them save the embarrassment and stay at school during their menstrul periods. For the first time 300 young girls from Acet Primary school and Lapiny Loyo Primary School stayed at school through the entire term.Giving them the opportunity to concetrate and continue with their education with your support. Conducting Community dilogues involving men, parents, and young boys is changing the biases around sanitay pads discuss in Uganda, Together we are helping to push forward the gender inequalities in the educations sector by breaking the silence about sanitary pads, enabling young girls to stay at school with diginity. Girl's access to sanitary Pads is a woman's rignt not a favor.

Lucia.......Primary school girls
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.
