Global Refugee Initiatives (GRI) has reached an important milestone: the distribution of menstrual hygiene kits to 1,000 schoolgirls across five primary schools in the Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement.

Each girl received reusable sanitary pads, soap, and underwear, along with guidance on how to manage their periods with dignity and comfort.

To reduce school absenteeism, each school also received an Emergency Menstrual Hygiene Aid Kit containing laundry soap, reusable pads, and underwear to support girls when menstruation begins unexpectedly during school hours.

These kits, overseen by senior women teachers, are helping girls continue their education without interruption. This achievement was made possible through collaboration with school leadership, staff, and community members, strengthening efforts to build safe, inclusive learning environments for all.

When girls are supported to stay in school, entire communities benefit.
