Girls in rural Uganda have limited access to proper sanitary products. Single-use pads are cost-prohibitive (approximately $36/year). Many girls even resort to using old rags, cutting used mattresses, and staying home from school to manage their menstruation. Shaming surrounds their monthly cycles and school absences escalate into the desperation of dropping out or entering into early marriages.

Truth+People desires to raise awareness, educate women about sustainable personal hygiene, and provide washable, multi-use pads. Meeting this practical need can lead to gospel conversations and reignite the hopes and dreams of young women.

A gift of $8 provides 1 reusable sanitary kit and underwear for a young woman for a year.
