This project will equip 650 girls in Budaka district, in Eastern Uganda with skills in making re-usable menstrual pads and provide counseling services to enable girls cope with menstrual-related emotional challenges. I chose Budaka district, my home district because it has the highest rates of teenage pregnancy and school drop outs. The reasons girls drop out is because they lack basic information on reproductive health as well as basic supplies like sanitary pads.
