By Widge Woolsey | CEO Ufulu Malawi
Ufulu has managed to work through the covid pandemic and keep providing free menstrual cups to women and girls in Malawi.
We have now distributed over 3,400 cups in just 2 years via our educational workshops
We have seen a 25% increase in attendance of girls at secondary schools once they have received and are using a menstrual cup and we have had a 99.7% success rate on females using cups.
Ufulu now has 5 women trained up to run workshops all across the country.
Each woman runs our educational cup workshops in her village or district ensuring that she is on hand to answer any questions that new and potential cup recipients may have. This ensures that everyone is happy and confident when using their cup.
But we couldn't do it without you and your donations, so thank you for chossing to donate to Ufulu Malawi.
Every £10 donated ensures that a female receivews an Ufulu Cup Starter Pack. This means she can have a clean, safe and dignified period for the next 10 years - and that is truly life changing.
Here are a few comments that we have received via our catch up meetings with females, 3 months after they have first starting using their cups:
"Thank you Ufulu for changing my life. I am so happy now i have my cup. I do not have to worry about when I get my period and how i will go to school - I just put my cup in and I am free"
"I am safe and happy now that I have a cup. No mess or leaks from using rags. I am happy and comfortable"
"I do not have to worry about how I am going to be able to afford sanitary pads every month. This cup is great"
Please help us to continue to free women and girls from Period Poverty in Malawi. £10 can really change a life.
