Pad Kit Drive — Keep 500 Girls in School This Term
School reopens soon and thousands of girls in Western Uganda still have nothing to manage their periods with. We need 500 reusable pad kits delivered before the first bell rings. One kit keeps one girl in class for a full year.

School reopens in weeks. For thousands of girls in Kabarole, Kasese, and Kamwenge, that reopening comes with a silent fear: what will I use when my period comes?
The Problem Is Simple — and Solvable
Without a sanitary pad, a girl stays home. Missing four days every month adds up to nearly 50 school days a year — exams failed, lessons lost, confidence eroded. For many girls, this is the beginning of dropping out entirely.
A reusable pad kit changes everything. It lasts up to two years, costs nothing after the first donation, and keeps a girl in class every single day of the school term.
Our Goal: 500 Kits Before School Opens
Our team is currently preparing the next batch of reusable pad kits for distribution across seven primary schools in Kabarole District. We need 500 kits — enough to cover every girl identified as being in need by our community health workers this term.
- Each kit includes four washable pads, a storage pouch, and hygiene instructions
- Production is done locally by trained women in our pad manufacturing program
- Distribution is handled by our volunteer health workers, with in-school health education included
What Your Donation Does
- $10 — one complete pad kit for one girl for one full school year
- $50 — five kits plus a health education session for the whole class
- $200 — equips an entire primary school class of girls
- $500 — covers a full school's distribution, reaching every girl in need
"When I got my pad kit, I stopped counting the days until my period. Now I count the days until the next exam — because I plan to pass."
— Patience, P.7, Kabarole District
The Clock Is Running
School opens soon. Every contribution made now goes directly into pad production and delivery. There is no administrative delay — our team is ready to move the moment funds arrive.
Donate today. Keep a girl in school this term.
