Last week,we implemented a Menstrual Hygiene Project in 3 primary schools of Namutumba s/county training over 700 participants on how to make reusable sanitary pads & liquid soap.This initiative was intended to curb the challenge of absenteeism amongst girls during menstruation.
We advocate for girls’ education because girls belong in classrooms,not bedrooms. They are born to be leaders, not brides.We are committed to protecting their futures and ensuring we #EndChildMarriage, empowering them to shape their futures with knowledge and confidence.
We were so blessed by learners at #budatu P/s #Namutumba District with plastics, and we too blessed them back with #scholastic materials, this initiative supports #education for all as well as #environmental conservation.
Overall, assessing of primary one learners using the TaRL approach not only helps identifies areas for improvement but also lays the groundwork for a successful and fulfilling educational journey. It also ensures that every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
It is important to avoid using corporal punishment in schools as it can have harmful effects on children's well-being and may contribute to the development of violent behaviors in adults.

Enhancing employment opportunities and also cultivating entrepreneurial skills and mindset is needed in the digital technology domain. Thanks to @UNITAR that has offered me the opportunity to learn and explore more of it for a sustainable livelihood development!
