Menstrual hygiene management is one of the main barriers to girls’ education attainment in Uganda 🇺🇬. Poor access to sanitary products and lack of menstrual knowledge affect students’ performance at school compared to the opposite sex.

Under our 1k Sanitary Pad Project, we are using a unique, inclusive approach to address cultural taboos and social norms to establish good menstrual hygiene practices that would be accessible to the girls (both in and out of school) and owned and embraced by the community.
