Keep a Girl in School: Sanitary Napkins Project

22% of Ugandan girls drop out of school due to lack of Sanitary Napkins to use during their menstrual period. This has greatly affected their future and increased the level of illiteracy among Ugandan Girls.

In our efforts at Youth in Act-Uganda to keep a Girl Child in school we will need to raise $750 to provide Sanitary Napkins to school going girls in Uganda and to train them how to make reusable Sanitary Pads and Menstrual Hygiene Management.

We have a need for both reusable and disposables. We give out disposable napkins after training the young girls on how to make the reusable napkins. We show them how to make reusable pads so they will be able provide for themselves and continue their education.


We run this project in rural public schools. These are school with less fortunate children. We have girls like Nabirye Moreen,  who is one of the trainers of making the reusable sanitary napkins. This project costs $750 and we would greatly appreciate your support to keep A Girl in School through Youth In Act- Uganda’s Sanitary Napkin Project August 2019.
