Clothing And sanitary Ware Program.

"Don't wait for a girl to become a woman to empower them. Empower a girl's life by giving sanitary pads to them. With sanitary pads, we give them wings to fly with no fear." "While women shed the blood of life on each moon at mensuration,many are unable to purchase sanitary pads, so we provide them so that they don't leave in shame".

SANITARY PADS

Cherish Our Girl, Build Her World!

Many girls in Uganda today continue to struggle every month to have access to sanitary pads and this limits their abilities to participate in different aspects of life and attend school regularly. Many of the re-settled children are always asking for the sanitary ware and due to this we saw it best to start a program that provides Sanitary pads in 2018. This idea was welcomed by former school teachers who joined forces with us to see that sanitary pads are provided so that the girls don't have to miss school. This being a challenge for so many young girls drove us to do better and find the best ways to supply the sanitary ware.

We always provide sanitary ware to the girls that can take them four months as each semester or term is comprised of three and half months or 4 months. We saw it best to provide sanitary ware for a full term before and after the girls join schools. We always leave a box of sanitary pads at school with teachers and for the community, just in case when a female needs one, they reach out to our representative and be served and sometimes be delivered to them. We saw that even communities with vulnerable groups struggle with the same challenge at times since it is comprised of young mothers as well. We took it upon ourselves to see that we manage to serve them as well and deliver sanitary ware at the start of the month as well.

Our Girls, Our Responsibility To See Change

“The lack of sanitary pads is perhaps one of the girl’s strongest barrier against many of the things she wants to achieve such as education, engagement among others. This continues to harden the lives of many girls in the different localities. In order to build and cherish our girls we ensure that they have what it takes them to be strong and stand firm in school and in communities where often serotypes continue to be a disadvantage to them.”

We always deliverer 3 - 4 packs for (we provide to the girls and vulnerable women) each student depending on what the semester/term months are. We ensure that the girls have enough pads and will not worry, fear, miss school due to the monthly shedding that they have to undergo. We often deliverer the ''Always" as it is the commonest type used and more affordable in most areas. The other types were mostly donated by friends.

"We believe now is the time to stand up for the rights of girls throughout Uganda."

For starters we do lessons with them so as to teach them how to use the pads, how to be clean and how to manage in cases where the blood goes onto the clothes or something a problem many starters face on different intervals. Hajara visits all the girls in the various areas and communities we deliver sanitary ware for and teach them on the proper ways of using the sanitary ware and other related girl talks. This project has opened gates to various programs such as discussions around early pregnancies takes them through the whole process of sanitary ware change and how to maintain a proper hygiene even when in their periods.

To help communities especially the women to have enough sanitary ware to use and not feel left out in any way as they often complain and feel, we wanted to ease on the many challenges they face as being the bread winners of their families.

To inspire the next generation of girls to see themselves somewhere in life and not feel left out in the different spheres of service and participation.

To see that many girls continue to attend schools and be a part of the daily day activities without fear of the monthly shedding.

To protect safety and confidence, so that they are able to be a part of many programs and chase their dreams without hesitation.

To promote sanitation and personal hygiene for the girls and women at large.

To allow them live life at its best while in schools and at home.

We want to see lives changed and curb on the levels of stigmatization that many girls continue to face on a daily basis. Our girls remain as the core reason as to why we want to see a better world fillled with equity and equality for them.

CLOTHING AND SCANDAL/SHOES GIVING

We Can Clothe Them

Hurry! To shield A Future.

This is one of our programs under the clothing project, through this we are able to deliver clothes such jackets, and warm sweaters to the street kids who attend our programs. We have given clothes to many street kids and those in the communities thus during night outreaches and sandals to street children who often have to suffer walking barefooted which pauses harm to them.

WE Care About Their Feet

LET'S BREATH LIFE INTO Hopeful Faces

Girls end up using dirty rags which can lead to infection and missing valuable school days for fear of leakage and total embarrassment. To end this, we started delivering and stocking our centers with pads. It is maybe hard for us to understand how much of a difference something this simple can make, we stock many pads at all our centers to ensure that the kids have access to them any time they want them.
