@cafejavas_ug
for the awesome chocolate cakes. Partnerships like yours go a long way in furthering our vision. We are forever indebted.
At Draw A Smile Uganda, we advocate for and teach boys on how to make reusable sanitary towels. This enables them to learn more about periods and not stigmatise girls who during menstruation because they're aware. Encourage more boys to get involved and lets fight the stigma.
Guys what is your take on male involvement when it comes to issues of reusable pads?
Do you think involving the men and sensitizing them about menstraution and reusable pads is a good move or should we just leave it to the females and mothers alone?
Engage please 🙏🏿
Yes! You did it!
We hit the target but this was not going to be possible if it wasn't for your support.
We collected UGX 109,000 from last week's
#UOTNight
and UGX 681,223 online fundraising giving us a total of UGX 790,223. This left us with a surplus of UGX 40,223.
Throwback to the 2018
#5on5Games
edition that took place at Uganda Deaf School.
This year's edition will be at Kabira Country Club and entrance is 5000/=
Seasonal Greetings from all of us at Draw A Smile Uganda. Thanks to each one of you who shared a smile and anything with us this year. We shall always be indebted.

My team lost 'a few' games but glad that we contributed towards improving menstrual hygiene among school girls 😇
#LetsTalkPeriods
#DidYouKnow
Poor menstrual hygiene management among school girls results into four or five days of absence from school let month - or 20% of the school year - which profoundly affects the academic potential of millions of school girls in Uganda?
