We are honoured to partner with Windle International Uganda to support adolescent learners and teachers at Rhino Camp in Arua, a refugee settlement where access to sustainable menstrual solutions is critical.

Last week, 83 learners (boys and girls) and 39 teachers at Rhino Camp High School received comprehensive training in Menstrual Hygiene Management and reusable menstrual kits.
Participants also hand-sewed their own reusable pads, gaining practical skills that promote dignity, sustainability, and self-reliance within the refugee community.

Through this partnership, we are:
- Breaking menstrual stigma
- Strengthening knowledge and confidence among young people
- Equipping learners and teachers with practical sewing skills
- Supporting girls’ education and school retention
- Providing sustainable, long-term menstrual solutions in refugee settings

At Wabibi Pads, we remain committed to ensuring every girl—everywhere—has access to comfort, dignity, and uninterrupted education.

A heartfelt thank you to Windle International Uganda for championing this work with us.
Together, we are building resilience and empowering a generation.

Today, the Wabibi Pads team conducted a focus group discussion with five girls from Municipal Primary School in Moroto — some of the beneficiaries who received reusable pads from us last year. The session aimed to understand how the pads have helped them and to refresh their knowledge about menstrual health.

Sitting under a tree in the school compound, the girls shared openly about their experiences.

“Before, I used to stay home when my period came,” said one girl softly. “Now I come to school every day. The pads are easy to wash and dry, and they make me feel confident.”

Their stories highlight the deep need for menstrual support in Moroto and the broader Karamoja region, where many girls still struggle to manage their periods with dignity.

According to a study in Rupa Sub-County, 61.7% of adolescent girls in Moroto use old rags during menstruation because they cannot afford proper products, and 38.3% of them do not know how to manage their periods safely. Many schools in the district still lack wash-basins, soap, and private changing rooms, making menstrual management extremely difficult.

Across Karamoja, it is estimated that 7 out of 10 school-going girls miss school during their periods, and up to 86% of girls do not complete primary school, with menstrual challenges among the leading causes.

The Deputy Head Teacher, Madam Grace, expressed her appreciation for Wabibi Pads’ continued efforts:

“We’ve seen a big change since last year. The girls are more confident and attend school regularly. But we also have new pupils joining every week — we’d be grateful for more emergency pads.”

Wabibi Pads remains committed to ensuring that no girl in Moroto misses class because of her period.

A special thank you to for the generous support that made last year’s intervention possible. Your contribution has restored dignity, health, and opportunity to girls in Moroto — and your impact continues to grow with every reusable pad distributed.

Together, we are breaking barriers, one period at a time.

🌍 The Girls’ Agenda 2025 – Day 1 Highlights 🌍

Under the theme “Collaboration & Collective Action,” Day 1 of The Girls’ Agenda 2025 brought together changemakers, organizations, and advocates committed to advancing gender equality and empowering girls across East Africa.

Hosted in partnership with Irise Institute East Africa, Akili Dada, and The Kilgoris Project, the conference opened with powerful reflections on leadership, policy, and the transformative role of education in shaping a more equitable future.

Throughout the day, plenary sessions explored the state of girls’ education and empowerment, while afternoon tracks delved into critical areas including menstrual health and hygiene, digital inclusion and online safety, and engaging men and boys in promoting gender equity.

The discussions emphasized collaboration, innovation, and evidence-based solutions — reinforcing that collective action is essential to building inclusive systems that support every girl’s right to education, dignity, and opportunity.

✨ Together, we are shaping a future where girls lead, thrive, and redefine change. ✨

Today, October 11th, we stand together to celebrate the International Day of the Girl. This is a moment to recognize something essential: the world's most powerful change agents are the girls who are here right now.

As Wabibi, we believe in the limitless potential within every single girl. We are not just future leaders; we are leaders today. We are the girls who are navigating a complex world and still showing up—in schools, in our homes, in our communities, and on the frontlines of crisis—with incredible resilience and vision. The theme this year, "The girl I am, the change I lead," speaks directly to our truth.

But a vision for the future is not enough. We must demand action now.

Our call to everyone is to invest in girls' rights and leadership. This means:

- Listening to our experiences without judgment.

- Creating safe spaces for us to learn, speak, and organize.

- Breaking down the barriers—big and small—that stop us from reaching our goals.

On this day, let's commit to seeing and supporting the power of every girl. Let's make sure our rights are protected and our leadership is nurtured.

Happy International Day of the Girl! We are the change we lead.
