Pads for Girls

Young women often drop out of school when they are menstruating as they do not have the necessary hygiene products. We will be raising funds to provide a "menstrual kit" to every young woman at Semei Kakungulu School and the older girls at Tikkun Olam Primary School. Funds will be collected by Global Village Connect and given directly to Days For Girls. Days For Girls in Namutumba make these kits and also educate girls. They are changing the status quo, through quality menstrual care solutions, health education, and income-generation opportunities.
