Our Initiative
Empowering Girls and Women through SRHR Education & Support
Period poverty denies thousands of Ugandan girls their education and dignity. In rural areas, 60% of women and girls lack access to menstrual products, forcing 28% to miss school monthly and pushing many toward dropout. This crisis fuels wider inequality, with 36% of girls entering early marriage before age 18.
Lucky Girl Pads—a social enterprise by VacNet—breaks this cycle by providing accessible, sustainable menstrual hygiene solutions that keep girls in school and their futures within reach.
