MENSTRUAL HYGIENE AND HEALTH

Managing menstruation safely, hygienically, and with dignity is a challenge to most girls in Uganda with 7 out of 10 girls in Uganda lacking access to safe menstrual products. They resort to using unsafe and unhygienic materials such as leaves, sand, and old rags to manage their periods. All these constraints cause poor health and psychosocial implications for girls including social exclusion, vulnerability and eventually dropping out of school eventually contributing to teenage pregnancies and early marriages.

OUR MENSTRUAL HYGIENE SOLUTION (THE FREE BUTTERFLY REUSABLE PAD)

The free butterfly is a reusable pad that provides a safe period experience for girls. It is highly absorbent, offers comfort, ecofriendly with antimicrobial properties to protect girls from infections. Access to safe menstrual products ensures that girls stay in school and complete their education without the shame and stigma attached to menstruation. With access to sustainable free butterfly reusable pads, girls can attend school without fear of staining uniforms, leaks or discomfort. This means they do not have to miss valuable says of education, can stay in school, navigate periods with confidence and dignity which breaks stigma and taboos surrounding menstruation and enabling girls to reach their full potential.
