Nobody should miss out on their education and training because of their period. That is why we launched the making of sanitary pads by young people. We are happy to report that production has started this week. We have also ordered some ready made ones to help the youth kick start the change. The smiling faces are proof of the confidence this has given the girls as they know they will miss less of their education in future.

Period dignity (period poverty) has recently received an increased awareness internationally. The ​CLICKRukiga committee heard that women were missing weeks from their training courses due to this and so working with our friends over in Uganda we have supported the provision of sanitary products. More importantly we have sent patterns and money for materials to enable the production of reusable sanitary towels for the young women to create a more self sufficient solution. This initiative has potential to support the wider local community through the use of sewing skills acquired through RYID.

On Saturdays, some of the sponsored children in Rukiga are given remedial classes to help with their learning. After such a session the children were presented with scholastic and hygiene materials.

CLICKRukiga's Emergency Fund was gladly able to support 4 people in the months of January and February;
Two people who needed to travel to specialist hospitals were given money from the fund for the transport and treatment which otherwise they could not have afforded.
The third was a woman who needed an operation at Kabale referral hospital, which the Emergency fund covered.
The fourth lady was provided with money necessary to buy the required medication for dental treatment.
