Empowering girls
Pro Period
This initiative gives young women confidence during their periods. We support tailoring students in Uganda to make reusable sanitary pads and also create awareness on how to use them.
ChallengeGirls and young women missing classes
Many miss classes during their period because sanitary products are not affordable and sanitary facilities are scarce at schools. Missing classes harms their education.
