Today, our team had the privilege of joining the incredible community of Gulu City for the 3rd edition of the Gulu Menstrual Hygiene Run, an initiative spearheaded by Her Worth Foundation in partnership with Bulamu Bridge AI LLC. The run focused on preserving the dignity of the girl child.
According to 2024 AMREF-Africa studies, 28% of girls in Uganda miss school due to menstrual-related challenges, ranging from lack of sanitary products to inadequate facilities and persistent stigma. Many schools still lack clean, private washrooms and proper disposal systems, making menstruation a monthly obstacle to education and self-confidence.
But today, we ran to change that.
We ran to break the silence, to challenge the stigma, and to show solidarity with girls who deserve dignity, safety, and opportunity, every day of the month.
Big kudos to over 10,000 participants and the many organizations for their tireless work in community sensitization and mindset change. We are grateful to have been part of this powerful movement. Together, we can #EndPeriodPoverty and create a future where #MenstrualHealthMatters is more than a hashtag.
