On 25th June, the team conducted a Menstrual Hygiene Management outreach at Kalaki Senior Secondary School, engaging students in open and meaningful conversations about menstrual health, hygiene and dignity.

The session created a safe space for learners to ask questions, break myths and gain accurate information that empowers them to manage menstruation with confidence. We also encouraged both girls and boys to support a school environment free from stigma and discrimination.

Together, we are building informed, confident, and healthy young people, one conversation at a time. Irise Institute East Africa

Boys play an important role in Menstrual Health Management (MHM). When boys understand menstruation, they are more likely to support and respect girls instead of teasing or stigmatizing them. This helps create a safe and inclusive school environment where girls feel confident and comfortable attending class during their periods.

Engaging boys in MHM education promotes empathy, breaks harmful myths, and encourages shared responsibility for health, hygiene, and gender equality. When boys become allies, they contribute to keeping girls in school and supporting their well being and dignity.

Today, the Esaete Foundation team conducted a Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) outreach session at Kalaki Primary School, creating a safe and engaging space for pupils to learn, ask questions, and share experiences. Pupils were excited and actively participated as they gained knowledge about puberty, menstruation, personal hygiene, menstrual health, and the importance of supporting one another during adolescence. The session also helped to address common myths and misconceptions about menstruation, giving pupils accurate information and confidence to manage their health with dignity.

At the end of the training, each pupil received a small message card carrying important health tips and words of encouragement. The messages emphasized the importance of staying healthy, maintaining good hygiene, supporting one another, showing kindness, and remaining committed to their education.

To ensure continued learning and peer support, a school health club was established. The club will serve as a platform where pupils can learn from one another, encourage healthy practices, share information, and promote positive attitudes towards menstrual health and wellbeing.

We are grateful to the administration, teachers, and pupils of Kalaki Primary School for their warm welcome and active participation. Together, we are building informed, confident and healthy learners who can thrive both in and out of school.

Joyce, one of the beneficiaries who participated in the tailoring skills training, is now using her tailoring skills as a source of income to improve her livelihood. Through the project, she gained practical skills that have enabled her to earn an income and support her family.
According to Joyce, tailoring has helped her meet her personal needs, contribute to household expenses, and provide for her children's school requirements. Her story reflects the positive impact of skills development and economic empowerment in creating sustainable livelihoods for women and their families.

We are grateful to have participated in this valuable 3 day entrepreneurship training under the Youth City Programme.
One key lesson that stood out for us is that it is very important to separate business finances from personal finances, it is key to have a financial planning and management skills mindeset. When growing your enterprise, trust is the foundation of every successful business, building sustainable enterprises requires more than resources. It requires knowledge, integrity, good financial management and a growth mindset. Thank you Network for Active Citizens Uganda and partners for investing in young entrepreneurs and community organizations. We look forward to applying these lessons to strengthen our work and impact.
