In Uganda and Tanzania, despite unending efforts by several individuals and organizations to reach out to the girl child and alleviate the dire state many girls in the country are in today, there are still several atrocities surrounding not just the girl-child but the female race as a whole. The atrocities happening in many communities in Uganda and around the world include early/forced marriage, abduction, and defilement, discrimination in relation to their male counterparts regarding education; domestic violence, lack of income, poverty, lack of education, lack of skills and many others. Many girls are also faced with the lack of access to proper sanitary ware to use during their menstrual period.

The Roses in partnership with MOTIV Uganda is running a skilling and pad production campaign to address the needs of the girl child in regards to menstrual hygiene, to train young women who are less privileged on how to make the pads through the different workshops so as to be able to fend for themselves when they get into their periods. The young women shall produce sanitary towels that can be purchased by other people, clubs and the district for the family health days, their major projects, distribution in slums, refugees’ camps among others.
