✊ This , we’re championing confidence, dignity and equal access for women and girls everywhere.
In Uganda, our partner COFCAWE developed the ‘SafePads’ initiative after identifying period poverty as a major factor affecting girls’ school attendance. For many rural families, menstrual products are too expensive, leaving girls to use unreliable alternatives or skip school.
‘SafePads’ are reusable menstrual products that also create sustainable pathways towards financial independence through skills training and income generation. Women and girls are trained to make them themselves, turning an urgent social need into community-led change.
By breaking stigma and ensuring a safe, affordable way to manage their periods, COFCAWE is uplifting women and girls with opportunities to learn, work and thrive. 💜
