🌸 International Menstrual Hygiene Day | May 28 🌸
We join the world in recognizing Menstrual Hygiene Day, a reminder that menstruation is normal, natural, and should never limit a girl’s confidence, education, or opportunities.
🩸 Periods are normal.
💖 Hygiene is a right.

Every Grace Pad tells a story of dignity, hope, and a girl determined to stay in school.

They are designed to provide reliable absorbency and protection, supporting uninterrupted daily activities such as school, work, and caregiving. Access to our sanitary pads reduces the risk of unhygienic coping mechanisms during those days. Buy now, ' that one girl needs it' .

[Uganda Red Cross Society @UgandaRedCross]

The Uganda Red Cross Society is honored to join the #AbsaKH37HillsRun in support of the girl child because this mission reflects the heart of our “Keep A Girl In School” initiative.

Through the making and distribution of reusable Grace Pads, we continue to stand with girls facing barriers such as period poverty, stigma, teenage pregnancy, and child marriage — challenges that still deny many girls the opportunity to learn and succeed.

Each hill conquered during this run symbolizes hope for a girl fighting to stay in school, reclaim her dignity, and build a brighter future.

When we invest in girls’ education, we invest in stronger families, empowered communities, and lasting change.

Get your kits today, because every stride taken for the girl child moves her closer to her dreams.

Day 2: Practical First Aid & Emergency Response Simulation

📍ICRC Kampala Delegation

Today is day two of the first aid and emergency response training for staff at the Kampala delegation of the International Committee of the Red Cross focused on hands-on, practical simulations designed to reinforce life-saving skills in realistic workplace scenarios.

Participants engaged in structured simulation exercises replicating common workplace emergencies, including:

↪️Sudden medical incidents (such as fainting, cardiac arrest)
↪️Workplace injuries such as cuts, burns, and fractures
↪️Fire outbreak response and evacuation procedures
↪️Safe handling and transportation of injured colleagues

The simulations emphasized:

📌Rapid situation assessment and decision-making
📌Effective teamwork and communication during emergencies
📌Proper use of first aid kits and emergency equipment
📌Adherence to safety protocols within an office/workplace setup

Our training team created a dynamic learning environment where staff rotated roles, acting as responders, casualties, and observers, to ensure comprehensive understanding and active participation.

By the end of the session, participants demonstrated improved confidence and competence in:

✅️Administering immediate first aid
Coordinating emergency responses
✅️Maintaining calm and control in high-pressure situations

This practical approach ensures that staff are better prepared to respond effectively to real-life emergencies, enhancing overall workplace safety and resilience.
