Every girl deserves to face her period with dignity not shame, stigma, or missed opportunities. Let’s lace up and run for a West Nile where period poverty is a thing of the past. Together, we can turn every kilometre into hope, dignity, and change. Purchase ur kits now

@Pad_A_Girl_Run We run for Access We run for purpose we run for girls to stay in school Everystep for everygirl everyday everywhere. @cleanette_ug
Did you Know that every family sends a girl to school with hope: that she will learn, grow and return home safely. But a school is not safe simply because lessons continue. Safety must be felt in the classroom, on the school grounds and whenever a girl needs to speak or seek help. At MEMPROW, we believe girls need voice, choice and power. This becomes possible when schools provide trusted reporting channels, supportive teachers, protection from harassment, inclusive classrooms and confidential referrals. When these systems work, girls are better able to participate, report concerns, remain in school and learn without fear. Parents, teachers and community leaders: Choose one action your school community can take.................. #SafeSchoolsSafeCommunities #SafeSchools #ChoiceVoicePower #EndGBV #GirlsEducation #InclusiveEducation #SecondChanceEducation @ajws @medicamondiale @MemprowGirls @ajws @vowforgirls @Mglsd_UG @AU_WGYD @GenderNige83722 @AWYAD_UG @awdf01

Sustaining the Future of Menstrual Justice 🩸 Thanks to @cleanette_ug for the invitation to attend the Cleanette Launch & Fundraiser celebrating the unveiling of Uganda’s first ever automated sanitary pad dispenser and vending network. This groundbreaking system was far more than a simple product launch, it represented a decisive victory toward securing #MenstrualJustice, inherent #dignity and guaranteed #access for every menstruating individual. I sincerely hope for the robust long-term sustainability and viability of this crucial program ensuring its benefits are permanent. Seeing brilliant young women, including @EstherKakihoza and @cycy_bk spearhead the redesign of menstrual health solutions is profoundly inspiring and confirms the power of this generational movement. Together for a #PeriodFriendlyWorld 🩸🌍 PS: My name is Jovia Kusiima a Menstrual Justice Educator who is passionate about Building a Period Friendly World with you. @aloysiusnsubug1 @CurtisIvan4 @DKAmbUganda @EU_YSBUg @AinabyoonaJ @EndometriosisSA @doraforchrist @norbert_walter @mtnug @JoshWabwire256 @sekateinnocent @hillary_akwech @EngJonard @JonahByakutaaga @DianaAtwine @GovUganda @IriseEastAfrica @AfricanSisters_

“I grew up as the only girl among boys and always believed that studying medicine was the best way I could help the world. My passion has always been to make a difference in people’s lives, especially women and girls. But as I practiced medicine and engaged with communities, I saw a painful reality so many women and girls still struggle to access something as basic and essential as a sanitary pad.” @cycy_bk Co-Founder, @cleanette_ug #cleanettefundraiser #CleanetteLaunch

During her remarks, @DianaAtwine , the Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Health, commended Cynthia and Esther for their vision and dedication to empowering girls and women through Cleanette. She noted that while many young people are not living out the purpose they were created for, the two founders had chosen a meaningful path one that would surely attract God’s blessings. #CleanetteFundraiser #CleanetteLaunch
