Provide Sanitary Pads to Women and Girls in Uganda
Organization information
Volunteer Action Network
Location: Gulu, Uganda
Summary
Our Healthy Periods Initiative (HPI) aims to address the many obstacles faced by young girls in northern Uganda with regards to menstrual health. We manufacture sanitary pads which are distributed to school girls, refugees, and throughout the community. Our program hopes to mitigate the challenges of proper hygiene, access to information, and negative stigma while providing employment opportunities to young single mothers through our small social enterprise.
