Breaking the stigma: making reusable sanitary pads in Uganda

Throughout May 2022, the Aga Khan Foundation in Uganda raised awareness of menstrual health management amongst girls and boys in Kampala District.
Young people, parents/caregivers and other community members learnt how to make reusable sanitary towels and had the opportunity to learn more about menstrual health and hygiene. The activities were aimed at breaking the stigma, changing negative social norms around menstrual hygiene and engaging decision-makers to catalyse action.
This initiative was carried out in collaboration with the Nnabagereka Development Foundation, a Ugandan organisation working to improve the lives of children, youth and women in Uganda and elsewhere.
