Nambi Menstrual Health Foundation: History, Purpose, and Primary Activities The Nambi Menstrual Health Foundation has dedicated the past four years to advancing menstrual health education and support in Uganda. Our mission is to break the stigma and taboo surrounding menstrual health, ensuring that young girls and boys, as well as the wider community, are well-informed and supportive. History Since our inception, we have partnered with She For She, a social enterprise in Uganda renowned for its work in donating reusable pads to schoolgirls. This collaboration has allowed us to focus our efforts on comprehensive menstrual health education. Purpose Our primary purpose is to educate schoolgirls and schoolboys about menstrual health, fostering an environment of understanding and support. By breaking down misconceptions and providing accurate information, we aim to empower young people and their communities. Primary Activities Educational Programs: We conduct workshops and seminars in schools to educate girls and boys about menstrual health. These sessions cover the biological aspects of menstruation, proper hygiene practices, and the emotional aspects of menstrual health. Community Engagement: We involve community leaders and parents in our programs to extend the impact beyond the schools. By educating these key figures, we help ensure that the knowledge and support continue at home and within the community. Teacher Training: Recognizing the critical role of teachers, we provide specialized training to help them effectively teach about menstrual health. This training also focuses on breaking the stigma and taboo associated with menstruation, making schools a more supportive environment for girls. Through these efforts, the Nambi Menstrual Health Foundation is committed to creating a well-informed, supportive, and stigma-free environment for all. Our goal is to empower individuals with knowledge and resources to manage menstrual with dignity and confidence.
