The Kasiisi Project "Sanitary Pads Keeps Ugandan Girls in School" project has been selected as Global Givings Project of the Month for Spetember, 2015 !
Our staff in Uganda was immediately relayed the exciting news and their reactions were priceless! Everyone had great ideas on how we could use the gift to further our programs related to sanitary pad distribution and sexual health education.
The extra support Global Giving will provide this month will allow for extra materials and trainings for our peer education program, which trains young women to be peer educators in their schools and inform other girls (and refute myths) about reproductive health, menstruation, puberty and relationships with boys. The peer educators are taught by our community health worker who circulates between the primary schools giving lessons and handing out sanitary pads.
We hope you are all as excited as we are that we were chosen as Project of the Month!
