As we go about our daily lives, it's easy to take for granted the basic necessities that many of us enjoy. But for countless teenage girls in village schools and orphanages, something as simple as a sanitary pad is a luxury they can't afford.

The Harsh Reality

In rural Uganda, many teenagers are forced to use dry banana leaves, crushed grass, papers, and pieces of old clothes during their menstrual periods. This not only puts their lives at risk for infections and other diseases but also leads to discomfort, shame, and ultimately, dropout from school.

Breaking the Cycle of Poverty and Shame

That's why we're on a mission to provide reusable sanitary pads to these deserving teenagers. With your help, we can empower them to take control of their menstrual health, stay in school, and break the cycle of poverty and shame.

How Your Donation Will Help

Our goal is to raise $770 USD, which will provide reusable sanitary pads for approximately 250 teenagers in village schools and orphanages. Your donation will:

1. Provide a safe and healthy alternative to makeshift menstrual materials.

2. Help reduce the risk of infections and diseases.

3. Encourage girls to stay in school, reducing dropout rates.

4. Empower teenagers to take control of their menstrual health and well-being.

Impact Updates

As a valued donor, you'll receive:

1. Regular video updates showcasing the impact of your donation.

2. Photos of the teenagers who receive the reusable sanitary pads.

3. Stories of how your donation is changing lives.

Will You Join Us?

Every donation, big or small, counts. Your contribution will bring us closer to our goal and make a tangible difference in the lives of these deserving teenagers.

Donate today and help us empower village school girls to take control of their menstrual health, education, and future!
