Health Period Initiative

Menstrual health remains a significant challenge in Uganda, especially in rural communities, where 60% of women and girls struggle to access proper menstrual hygiene. Menstruation is a major barrier to education, with 70% of girls citing it as an obstacle and 28% missing school 3–4 days each month. This lack of support contributes to wider issues, including 36% of girls being forced into early marriage before 18 years. Stigma, limited access to products, and inadequate information continue to fuel period poverty and gender inequality.

Our Road to end Period Poverty in Uganda

Get Started Now Get Started Now

Our Solution

We produce and distribute low-cost, eco-friendly, high-quality disposable sanitary pads to help eliminate period poverty in Uganda. Our work supports over 250,000 women and girls in rural areas by providing access to affordable menstrual products, menstrual health education, and awareness campaigns aimed at ending stigma around periods.

MHM School Outreach

e organized a community outreach and school-based education session focused on Menstrual Health Management (MHM) for young girls. The activity included interactive workshops, demonstrations on proper menstrual hygiene practices, and open discussions to break the silence around menstruation

Awareness Creation

We engaged both girls and community members including boys, parents, and local leaders to create awareness and challenge harmful myths and stigma. The sessions empowered girls with knowledge, boosted their confidence, and fostered a supportive environment for menstrual health in the wider community.
