Thousands of girls in Uganda miss school every month due to lack of menstrual products. With your support, we can provide reusable pads, hygiene education, and restore dignity to girls in Nakawuka, Wakiso District.
In the villages of Nakawuka, Wakiso District, 14-year-old girls hide in their huts, clutching bunched-up newspaper against their bodies. When their first period arrives at school, there are no pads, no private washing areas - only shame and humiliation.
