The Silent Week: A Choice No Girl Should Make
​For thirteen-year-old Nangobi, the arrival of her periods is a source of quiet dread. It isn't just the physical discomfort; it is the realization that for one week every month, her world would shrink.
​In her classroom in Buyende, Nangobi is a bright light. She dreams of becoming a doctor, her hand often the first to shoot up when the teacher asks a question. But without access to proper sanitary pads,and menstrual information,those four or five days each month means staying home. She uses scraps of old cloth that are uncomfortable and unreliable, tethering her to her house out of fear of public embarrassment.
​One week a month adds up to nearly 50 days of school missed every year. While her male peers continue their education. Each missed day is a brick in a wall standing between her and her medical degree. This isn't just a health issue; it is an education crisis. When girls lack the tools to manage their periods with dignity, they don't just lose their confidence, they lose their seat at the table of the future.
​
​The Iremerye Buyende Project by the Rotary Club of Jinja Metro is stepping in to ensure that "period poverty" stops being a reason for a girl to drop out. On February 27th, 2026, we are heading to Iremerya with a clear mission: Empowering 750 girls.

SHINE WITH SKILLS Foundation

Its a non profit organisation founded in 2018 by ishenda Francis Who was a leader of an education institution in Jinja, His ambition is helping youths irrespective of Gender, education level and backgrounds, religious and political orientation and economic abilities. He set up the SHINE WITH SKILLS workshop that trains youth in metal works and fabrication with the help of professional trainers who are also victims of the same challenges, located on plot 60 Oboja Road in Jinja. He is passionate about the community empowerment of young people through Economic dependence.

SHINE WITH SKILLS foundation is to answer the need for youth who drop out of school before acquiring the necessary employable skills. Youth aged 13- 27 make up the biggest percentage of Ugandan population and labour force, yet with no skills. While literacy is defined as ability to read and write, Shine with Skills foundation envisions youth empowerment beyond literacy to skilling the Youth.

RATIONAL OF THE PROJECT

The Business, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (BTVET) Strategic Plan 2013-2022 dubbed ‘Skilling Uganda’ illustrates that technical-vocational skills are essential for individuals, enterprises and the economy. Our interaction with the children, parents and stakeholders in jinja shows there is need to enable individuals to increase productivity and raise incomes. A skilled workforce enables enterprises to increase their productivity and profits. Skills enable the economy to expand and grow. Employers in Uganda often complain about skills shortages that constrain production and expansion. Large segments of the population, including those working in the informal sector, lack the skills they need to lift themselves out of poverty. The economy faces critical skills gaps that threaten to limit the growth of key sectors, including agriculture, energy, information and communication among others. So the skills in sewing, computers, and organic agriculture among others that Shine with Skills will offer are required by the jobs market in Uganda. In Non-formal vocational training program for youths (dropped out of school, those who have not been in school, youths affected by early marriages/pregnancies, drug abuse and rehabilitated among others), in the Northern regions and Karamoja for example in the last four years and supported partially through special quotas by local government has enabled skill trained youths have found their way into employment (in district government, NGOs and self-employment). Shine with Skills projects that starting and delivering such skills training in Jinja and beyond will be a new dawn for the majority of Youth especially girls and women who have previously dropped out of school. The core purpose of this project is to improve the capacity of the youth in Jinja and Buikwe Districts and beyond whenever
