More than half of girls who start school in Uganda, drop out - largely because they cannot have their periods in safety.

What Elgon Empowerment does:

It's not periods that stop girls going to school, it's the lack of access to sanitary products, the lack of of knowledge of menstrual health and access to support and facilities. We can use the privilege afforded to us by being from the UK to help awe-inspiring local leaders with such challenges.

We facilitate Women's workshops, teaching about women's reproductive health and provide thousands of reusable sanitary products. We're able to do this because of you - crowdfunding our way to more empowered communities! Run solely by volunteers and driven by the priorities of our local partners.

My fundraising:

This September our team of fundraisers are tackling Mount Snowdon to raise money for the crucial women's and social empowerment work we support.

Your support make's the world of difference.

Just £5 can fund reusable sanitary products that can help keep a girl in rural Uganda in school for 2 years. We can do so much good with so little.
