How we make menstruation safer
Everything we do starts with education and ends with women and girls who feel informed, equipped, and supported.
Menstrual health education
Structured sessions on the menstrual cycle, hygiene, reproductive health, and how to manage periods safely and confidently, delivered in schools and communities across the settlement.
EducationProviding period products
We distribute reusable menstrual cups that can be used for up to ten years — a safe, sustainable, and dignified alternative to disposable products that are hard to afford or find.
DistributionPeriod positive schools
In partnership with the Irise network, we train teachers, survey schools, and teach pupils so that classrooms become places where girls are understood and supported during their periods.
Attitude changeOur Projects
Menstrual Cup Project with The Cova Project
The Menstrual Cup Project brings safe and sustainable menstrual care to women and girls facing period poverty in Nakivale Refugee Settlement. Together, We Empower Her and The Cova Project have distributed reusable menstrual cups alongside menstrual health education, giving women a dignified, cost effective product that lasts up to 10 years and keeps girls in school and women at work. These organisations are working toward a future where no woman or girl has to miss school, work, or opportunity because of her period.
Period Positive Schools with Irise
We Empower Her continued its partnership with IRISE Institute East Africa (IIEA) to implement the Period Positive Schools (PPS) project, with the objective of spreading accurate menstrual health information and breaking misconceptions about menstruation at schools. The project delivered educational sessions to selected primary schools and provided training to parents of teenagers in surrounding communities. Core topics included anatomy, puberty, myths and misconceptions about menstruation, menstrual hygiene management and how best everyone should be involved in supporting menstruating girls.
