At Right Path, we believe that Menstrual Health is a fundamental pillar of a girl’s education, dignity, and future. Through our flagship Girlcare Initiative, we are moving beyond traditional aid to provide holistic, innovative solutions that address both the physical and psychosocial barriers facing adolescent girls in Uganda.

Our Innovative Approach: The Moon Rise Game & Quiz

While many programmes focus solely on infrastructure, Right Path recognizes that silence and stigma are often the greatest hurdles. We leverage gamification as a sophisticated, neutral entry point for essential health education.Read More

The Moon Rise Game and Quiz transforms a sensitive topic on Menstrual Hygiene into an engaging, interactive experience. By replacing traditional lectures with play, we:

Neutralize Stigma: Create a safe space for open dialogue.
Foster Inclusion: Engage girls, boys, and teachers alike to build a supportive community.
Build Agency: Turn menstrual anxiety into confidence through knowledge.

The Girlcare Hygiene Kit

To complement our educational outreach, we provide every participant with a comprehensive menstrual health kit designed for long-term sustainability:

Eco-friendly reusable pads
Menstrual Hygiene bucket and soap
Personal small towel

The Reality We Are Changing

In Uganda, menstruation remains a primary driver of educational inequity. Research indicates that school absence rates among girls can rise by up to 28% during their periods. Even more concerning, approximately 23% of girls aged 12–18 drop out of school entirely after their first cycle, driven by a lack of resources and the fear of social exclusion.

Moon Rise meets these girls where they are. Our programme is intentionally designed for girls aged 10–18, including those most often left behind:

Out-of-school youth
Residents of remote villages and urban informal settlements
Girls within refugee-hosting communities

Scalable Formats for Diverse Needs

We deliver our curriculum through three adaptable formats to ensure maximum impact across various environments:

Facilitated Play: Expert-led sessions for deep-dive learning.
Interactive Peer-Led Play: Empowering girls to educate and support one another.
Quick Card Game: A versatile tool for rapid engagement and knowledge retention.

Our Theory of Change

Our mission goes beyond hygiene; we are building a world of Menstrual Dignity, where every girl has the agency to lead, learn, and thrive.

Right Path is more than a service provider; we are operationalizing National Menstrual Health Policies through a dignity-centered movement. We are transforming the narrative of menstruation from one of shame into a celebration of health and potential.
