Generous Design Africa, Yumbe District, Bidi Bidi Refugee Settlement, Yumbe (2026)

Generous Designs Africa (GDA) is a refugee-led organization with a primary focus on plastic waste recycling as a pathway to environmental protection, livelihoods creation, and community resilience. Generous Design Africa (GDA) formed in Yumbe District West Nile Sub-Region of Northern Uganda in 2020 and legally incorporated with Limited Liability under the Uganda Registration Service Bureau (URBS). Registration No: 80020002664178 to operate countrywide in areas of environment, livelihoods, education and health to reach its goals and objectives for reduced greenhouses emissions and sustainable communities. GDA is using recycling art to make affordable, eco-friendly, durable, and waterproof African fabric products to create jobs for young women and unemployed youth while promoting innovative mindsets and protecting our environment from carbon emissions. We do this by upcycling plastic wastes to make products of high value such as laptop bags, school and shopping bags, and wallets and many products among other to protect the environment from the dangers of plastic waste accumulation and toxins generated through the burning of plastic wastes.

World Menstrual Hygiene Day 2026.

Today, Generous Designs Africa proudly conducted a menstrual hygiene awareness and empowerment session for 30 girls in our community.
The training focused on menstrual health education, personal hygiene, confidence building, and breaking the stigma surrounding menstruation. We believe that every girl deserves access to accurate information, dignity, and the support needed to manage her menstrual health safely and confidently.
Through this session, we empowered young girls with knowledge and encouraged open conversations that promote health, education, and self-esteem.
We extend our sincere appreciation to everyone who supported and participated in making this activity successful. Together, we continue creating safe spaces where girls can learn, grow, and thrive.
