Promoting menstrual health and hygiene is an important means for safeguarding women’s dignity, privacy, bodily integrity, and, consequently, their self-efficacy. Awareness of MHH contributes to building an enabling environment of non-discrimination and gender equality in which female voices are heard, girls have choices about their future, and women have options to become leaders and managers. Discriminatory social norms, cultural taboos, and stigma associated with menstruation can lead girls to follow unsafe practices.

This project is intended to promote girl education in hard-to-reach hilly areas of Ndandu Village Neighboring Rwenzori Mountain National Park in the Kasese District. The project aims.

The beneficiaries in this project will be the primary school girls of menstrual age in primary six and seven of Ndandu primary school and the women groups neighbouring the school. They will be equipped with knowledge and skills in the making of RUMPs which is cheaper by virtue of initial low cost and being reusable.
