Operation Uganda

Here at Operation Uganda we are committed to keeping Ugandan girls in school and changing this situation for hundreds of girls in our sponsorship programs. Using a Ugandan made product called AFRIpads (www.afripads.com) we are supplying girls with a washable reusable sanitary product that is comfortable, reliable, hygienic and cost effective. Along... with this we are providing menstrual hygiene education to equip these girls with appropriate health knowledge and information about the changes their bodies go through as they enter puberty. The initial rollout of this program commenced in May 2013 with our residential girls at Jordan House. The next stage will be the girls in our community sponsorship program in Kasubi and then the girls of Abim district who are in our sponsorship program. Eventually we would like to introduce this program into entire schools both here in urban Kampala and the rural northern districts. In this day and age it is unthinkable that the monthly menstrual cycle stops girls from attending school.Read More
