Period poverty = the inability to access menstrual hygiene products.
In Uganda, period poverty means that girls miss up to 5 days of school a month or drop out of school completely. Girls need a chance to complete their education and realize their potential. HEAL International is raising funds to provide reusable pads to schoolgirls in need in rural western Uganda. For $10, you can help one girl get a menstrual hygiene kit for one year.
