Picture this: a 14-year-old girl in rural Uganda without a menstrual kit freezes mid-exam as cramps hit. With no clean water, no private space, and no safe supplies, she faces a devastating choice: endure leaks and shame using newspapers, rags, or leaves in a classroom with broken sanitation—or skip school entirely. For 1 in 4 Ugandan girls, period poverty drives school absenteeism, stealing education, confidence, and futures. This isn’t mere missed days; it’s a systemic trap fueled by stigma and the shocking reality that 70% of schools lack functional water and sanitation facilities. Desperate girls resort to soil, leaves, or torn cloth, risking infections that derail dreams. Too often, menstruation becomes the end of their education.
                               
      These aren’t just menstrual kits; they are buckets of dignity
But Right Path is rewriting this story
With a culturally rooted solution: The Girlcare Kit—the ultimate menstrual kit for Uganda. More than supplies, it delivers dignity. We crafted it for Ugandan girls’ realities: a reusable bucket as a private sanctuary (where latrines have no locks); sustainable sanitary pads replacing dangerous rags with comfortable, long-lasting protection; and a hygiene towel with soap to prevent infections. At just $14—less than 1% of Uganda’s education budget per child—this isn’t charity. It’s a high-impact investment. Girls like Peace (14, Jinja) now attend school daily. “Before, I hid with a leaking cloth,” she shares. “Now, with my kit, I focus on my books. I will be a doctor.”
This kit transcends its components; it’s a catalyst.
By turning period management from a source of shame into a moment of safety and self-worth, Right Path proves that dignity unlocks potential. Period poverty doesn’t have to end a girl’s education; it can ignite her future. For $14, you fill a bucket with hope, providing a full year of school attendance, health, and dignity. You’re not buying pads; you’re unlocking a lifetime of dreams. Join us in turning the tide.
Donate a Girlcare Kit today and help girls like Peace chase their futures, period.
