The Uganda 2019/2020 National Budget has allocated Ushs 8000 ($ 2.2) per pupil per year. This transilates into Ushs 888.9 ($0.24) per pupil, per month for the three school terms. Currently, a packet of sanitary pads is between Ushs 3,300 and 4,000. This means,even if a school is only to concentrate on menstrual hygiene, it can not sustain it for a term. So, how will the rural girl in Karangura keep in school?
To answer the above question, Joy For Children Uganda has recommitted itself to to continue supporting the primary schools in Kaarangura in the campaign to improve menstrual hygiene through the provision of reusable sanitary pads, trainings on making the same, sensitizations and provision of sanitation equipment. We appreciate your generous financial support towards the implementation of this project's activities.
We look forward to walking with you another journey this Financial Year 2019/2020, where the girls child's schooling has been put at risk.
