Re-Usable Menstrual Pads (RUMPs) for Rural girls’ Program

With menstruation being one of the biggest factors that affect girls especially rural girls’ school attendance, retention and completion rate, Dwona Initiative started the Re-Usable Menstrual Pads (RUMPs) for Rural Girls program that aims to support rural girls and child mothers with menstrual materials and value-based children’s books as well as proper menstruation hygiene information in an effort to keep them in school. In 2020, under My Voice Podcast, this program served over 100 rural girls in a school called Ongai Primary School in Alero subcounty, Nwoya district, Uganda
