Pro Period

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.

Our Solution

Action

Tailoring students make reusable sanitary pads. They can earn money from selling pads after they graduate.

Awareness

Sanitary and hygiene workshops teach girls and young women how to use sanitary pads.

Equality

Sanitary pads give young women confidence to carry on as normal during their periods.

A period is the end of a sentence, not the end of a girl‘s education!


Taking ActionOur Partner in Uganda


We work closely together with the Bukedea Vocational Skills Training Centre. The training centre is run by the Bukedea Youth Professionals Association (BUYOPA), a local community organization founded in 2014. BUYOPA equips young people in Bukedea District with practical skills to help them find a decent job or start their own business. Pro Period is an initiative of TAKE ACTION.
