At Gejja, we strongly believe every girl should have access to menstrual health products. Through , we are working to make sure girls in marginalized communities in Uganda have what they need to stay in school and stay confident, every month.

Sustainability is part of the solution too. These reusable pads mean less waste and a solution that lasts well beyond a single donation. Because when we invest in education and access today, we build habits that carry girls through every cycle to come.

This is what dignity looks like: consistent, affordable and built to last.

Our Business Acceleration Program is an 8-week journey that equips women and men with the knowledge, skills, mentorship, and support to build sustainable businesses and step into financial independence.

Today, Cohort 6 took their first step on that journey and we are very excited to walk alongside them over the next eight weeks.

We are proud to celebrate Angel today, who has represented Gejja Women Foundation throughout an 8 week training program. Her completion marks another step forward for our Business Acceleration Program, as she now carries this knowledge back to the women she works with every single day. Congratulations, Angel, on this well earned achievement.

Every girl has a place where her future gets written. That place is a desk, in a classroom, chasing a dream nobody can silence.

At Gejja, we believe education is the strongest tool a girl can hold onto. Through our SafeGirl program, we work to keep girls in school by tackling the barriers that push them out, from period poverty to lack of support at home. When a girl stays in class, she stays in charge of her own story.

Help us keep her there. Support a girl’s education today when you visit the link in our profile.

Yesterday marked the start of our Acceleration Program at Ziwungwe Nyomerwa, bringing together 40 participants, 35 women and 5 men, for a session on the foundations of social entrepreneurship.

Beyond the theory, participants took part in an exercise to draw their trees of life, mapping their roots, strengths, and the future they are working toward.

This is what growth looks like: community members showing up, learning together, and building the tools to shape their own paths forward.

Training a woman to run a business is only half the journey. The other half is making sure she has what she needs to actually start it.

At Gejja, we strongly believe that empowerment is not complete until skills meet resources. That is why our programs go beyond workshops and mentorship to include the tools and capital women need to turn their ideas into real, sustainable businesses.

Because knowledge without the means to act on it can only take a woman so far. True empowerment happens when she has both the know-how and the means to build something of her own.

Our mission to empower communities with sustainable menstrual hygiene solutions led us to Kassanda SS in Mityana district. We talked to students about menstruation, the different ways to manage periods hygienically, and then trained both girls and boys in the making of our reusable pads.

When boys, men and everyone else is included in the conversation about periods, the silence around menstruation breaks down faster.

This is the kind of change we are building within young people, one school at a time.

An empowered woman will lead with courage, build with purpose, and lift everyone around her.

As Michelle Obama said, “there is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish.”

The silence and shame around menstruation still push es girls out of conversations about their own bodies and most importantly, out of class.

When girls, boys, parents and teachers all understand menstrual health, stigma loses its grip, and girls stay confident, informed and in school.

This week we partnered with School For Life for an outreach at St. Peter Church of Uganda Primary School in Buyala, Mityana district. We talked openly about periods, hygiene and dignity, and reminded every girl in that room that her body is nothing to hide. Together, we trained both girls and boys on the making of our reusable sanitary pads and left them with kits to manage their menstruation safely and hygienically.

Thank you to School for Life Foundation for walking this journey with us because we believe that a period should never be the reason a girl misses her education.
