Child and Family Foundation Uganda (CFU) team is delighted to share another progress report on the increased skills and use of pads by 200 girls.
Raising awareness and improving access to affordable, good-quality reusable sanitary pads for girls in school and community, helps girls and teenagers can get the education they need. In the last quarter at CFU, we were able to train again 10 girls in making reusable pads.
The training aimed at skilling girls in adopting the use of Reusable sanitary pads using locally available materials as a way of enhancing girl-child education as well as promoting the retention and participation of the girl child at school.
The training was also aimed at creating awareness of menstrual hygiene since dealing with such a challenge requires one to have accurate and adequate information. The following objectives guided the training:
1. Enhancing menstrual hygiene.
2. Promoting girl child education.
3. Reducing stigma and building self-esteem among primary school girls.
5. Equipping girls with skills in making sanitary pads using locally available materials.
The topics discussed were;
- Menstrual hygiene and management.
- Personal hygiene,
- Water and sanitation.
These ten girls are to train other girls in the making of reusable pads. The girls enthusiastically commented about the knowledge and skills they gained from the training.
