Would you like to give gifts that empower?

Every Girl believes that no one should be without vital period hygiene supplies and that everyone should be empowered with knowledge about their reproductive health. Would you like to partner with us to help make this happen in Mbale, Uganda?

- “A period should end a sentence. Not a girl's education.” Melissa Berton

£10 covers the cost of our schools worker running trainings for teachers in our local schools in menstrual health and empowering them to teach their pupils how to make pads, as well as two follow up sessions. With teachers reporting a reduction in absenteeism after our visits, this is a gift which safeguards girls education!

- Education on reproductive health for everybody

£12.50 finances 3 health topics, one each week, to be shared on a local radio in one of our communities. We truly believe that when you’ve got information worth sharing, that it’s important to share it widely. Therefore, these radio sessions help us to share the message wider than we ever could just through running our regular training sessions. When knowledge is power, this is a gift which informs and empowers!

- "We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back" Malala Yousafazi

£25 pays for our two community trainers to share our menstrual health and pad making programme for two sessions and a follow up in remote villages, where communities are hard to reach, with fewer employment opportunities, and therefore, are often are in most need of this training. With period poverty being a trap which holds many back in our communities, this is a gift which empowers!

- Let's end the cycle

£40 buys a sanitary pad training pack, which includes all the supplies needed to train groups of up to 20 people to make their own local style pads. With previous participants like Kate sharing, "I wish I had this information before. Now I understand how my body works and I can make my own pads”, it's a gift which helps break the period poverty cycle, and ensures that those we've trained can continue sharing the programme, so people in our communities can keep learning this vital skill long after we have left!

- "It's not just about women's issues - it's about everybody's issues" Justin Trudeau

£40 covers the cost of our 9 week family and women's health training programme. Each weekly session covers different topics such as communication, how to plan a family, what are the needs of a pregnant woman and newborn baby and reproductive health, in a small group. Before John attended this 9 week family & women’s health course, he had little involvement at home. After the course, John took on joint responsibility in household tasks and in caring for his family, leading to much better relationships with his family. With testimonies like these, this gift empowers men and women together to be better equipped to raise their families together!
