Menstrual poverty affects learning, dignity, and participation
The 2026 HER Pride Baseline Survey in Kasese District highlighted persistent barriers that require sustainable community-based solutions.
Limited affordable products
While some girls have menstrual supplies, consistent and affordable access remains limited for vulnerable households.
School absenteeism
Lack of reliable menstrual supplies can contribute to girls missing school and falling behind in learning.
Menstrual stigma
Persistent stigma limits open discussion and makes it harder for girls to seek support confidently.
Knowledge and facility gaps
Gaps in menstrual hygiene knowledge and facilities show the need for education, products, and community engagement together.
Restoring dignity while creating opportunities
HER Pride is positioned as a community-based solution that brings together reusable pad production, menstrual health education, SRH awareness, and livelihood creation.
By involving young women in production and distribution, the initiative contributes to both menstrual dignity and economic empowerment.
The model supports girls and women in Kasese and Gulu while strengthening community awareness and reducing harmful stigma around menstruation.
Helping girls stay in school, thrive with confidence, and pursue their God-given potential
By expanding awareness, production, and distribution of reusable sanitary pads, JLH seeks to restore dignity, keep girls in school, empower women economically, and contribute to long-term community transformation.
