This month, Global Refugee Initiatives (GRI), in partnership with AFRIpads, conducted a capacity-building training on Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM), puberty education, and effective adolescent communication for senior women teachers across five primary schools in the Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement.
The training empowered 10 senior women teachers with in-depth knowledge on menstruation, puberty, and adolescent development. It also provided practical skills in the use and care of reusable menstrual pads, alongside effective strategies for delivering sensitive reproductive health information to adolescents.



A practical session further engaged 40 learners- both girls and boys, encouraging open dialogue, reducing stigma, and fostering peer support.
This initiative is a key step toward creating safe, inclusive, and supportive school environments where every learner can thrive with dignity.
