Menstrual Health Management and Entrepreneurship development (promoting good health and eradicating poverty)

2/3(two thirds) of girls agree that, "period days are not like any

other days." As a result of challenges faced by girls in their periods

forexample cramps, poor menstrual hygiene Management due to lack of

access to clean water and effective absorbents. Scarcity of Soap, water,

lack of privacy, inadequate social support and presence of taboos

manifest into psychosocial effects such as shame, fear, anxiety and

distraction which ends up affecting the girls'/womens' ability to

thrive and succeed within the community.
In our own community of

JANDIRA;KASANJE, poor menstrual hygiene management is fueled by the

extreme poverty hence more than half of the teenage girls dropout of

school, become prematurely pregnant due to exchange of sex for basic

monthly menstrual necessities such as sanitary pads. This early exposure

usually results into poor maternal and child health, death on top of

being isolated by their already poor relatives.
As Tuezuule

Initiative started a campaign to avail trainings, skilling the young

girls, adolescent mothers, vulnerable elderly women and marginalised

people with making Re-usable sanitary pads will not only cater for their

monthly menstrual needs but also will provide surplus for catering for

the day to day increasing cost of living.
The proposed project seeks to usher over 2000 victims from menstrual challenges and extreme poverty.
The

project aims at tapping in on the victims' potential through

sensitization and rights awareness on generation, capacity building and

setting up entrepreneurship trainings, counselling sessions in the

community. considering the socio-cultural and financial needs of the

community, the proposed project is intended continuous and socially

feasible, economically viable and environmentally sound.

For $15

you can sponsor the training of one individual and not only avail their

menstrual needs but also help them develope an enterprise where they

will earn for a life time.
We are so grateful for the support we

have received so far. Since we begun this campaign, many people have

been reached out to and their lives have been impacted for good.

Use of Funds
