Menstrual health is closely linked to educational success, yet many girls in rural Uganda lack the resources needed to manage their periods safely and confidently. This project continues to address that challenge through targeted support and education.
During the quarter, we reached vulnerable girls with menstrual hygiene kits and comprehensive awareness sessions. Participants learned about reproductive health, hygiene practices, and ways to manage menstruation effectively while continuing their education.
The response from schools has been overwhelmingly positive. Attendance records indicate fewer absences among supported girls during menstruation. Students reported feeling more comfortable and less anxious about attending school throughout the month.
Teachers and community leaders also participated in sensitization activities designed to challenge stigma and encourage supportive attitudes toward menstrual health. These efforts are helping create environments where girls feel accepted and valued.
Several beneficiaries shared that the project has given them renewed confidence and motivation to remain in school. By addressing a fundamental barrier to education, we are helping girls build brighter futures for themselves and their communities.
Your continued partnership is making this progress possible and ensuring that girls have the opportunity to learn without interruption.
