The aim of this project in Adjumani District, Uganda, is to combine income generation through beekeeping with production of reusable sanitary pads. The overall objective of the project is to economically empower girls such as teenage mothers and girls with disability, through making affordable, sustainable and culturally appropriate menstrual products. They will be trained in making period underwear, along with eco-friendly wash bags and drying bags. This practical training will be complemented by sexual and reproductive health education.
