Girls Helped
So the Uganda pad project provides free reusable pads that are sustainable and easily renewable allowing the girls and women to wash and reuse them rather than having to buy disposable pads every month .In addition,they are comparatively inexpensive and environmentally friendly. This greatly mitigate the disadvantages and challenges many disempowered girls and women endure during the process of menstruation.
Mission to expand access of menstrual supplies to girls and women in Rural Uganda.
Our goal is to ensure that every girl and woman in Rural Uganda can access free re-usable pads ,menstrual cups,soap and panties to use in their periods.
By addressing barriers that limit girls’ access to schools once they start menstruating, including access to products and a supportive eco-system, the programs are also helping reduce school absenteeism at the level of secondary education. The programs are also expected to reduce the risk of gender-based violence by tackling intergenerational menstrual stigma.
