(1)

Here in Uganda there exists a troubling problem for many young girls once they reach puberty, unable to afford menstrual hygiene materials, they are forced to drop out of school. This not only has an impact on the individual girls effected, but also creates barriers to progress and prosperity for the girls' future families and communities, impacting the country as a whole. STAR durable pads was created in reaction to this issue; we aim to offer an affordable, sustainable, and comfortable solution to girls and women. We hope to help as many girls as possible with a safe and healthy maintenance of their menstruation. All our pads are locally crafted, supporting seamstresses in the community. Profits made from the sale of our pads go towards offering s*xual reproductive health trainings in schools and communities. Empowering women to succeed by promoting body awareness and body autonomy.

A menstrual myth rooted in superstition: the idea that when a girl gets her period, she is “ready” for marriage.

This belief is not only untrue — it puts girls at risk. Menstruation is a natural bodily process, not a sign of adulthood, maturity, or readiness for marriage. Girls deserve education, safety, and time to grow,

A menstrual myth rooted in superstition: there is no truth to the belief that you shouldn’t go to church, pray, or talk to God while menstruating.

During our follow-up visit to Walukuba West Primary School, we had the opportunity to answer the students’ questions about menstruation, puberty, and s*x submitted through our anonymous Q&A box.

It was a meaningful exchange of knowledge where we also had the chance to distribute our STAR Durable Pads. This visit highlighted the importance of continuous Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights education for the young generation to break stigma, empower, and foster open conversations about growing up.

Remember: when you buy a package of STAR Durable Pads, you support Women Rights Initiative - WORI in delivering Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights SRHR training in schools and communities. Giving back to those in need is at the core of our mission.

23% of girls miss out on school in Uganda when they are on their period.

This reveals an immense struggle and a worrying tendency. Girls and young women are the future of our nation - yet for many, managing a period still means missing school. Not because they want to, but because they lack safe and affordable menstrual products. Lack of access should never determine a girl’s education or future.

STAR Durable Pads, together with our parent organization Women Rights Initiative - WORI, is working to change this by creating reusable, affordable pads and providing menstrual health training that helps girls stay in school with confidence and dignity.

Together, we can end period poverty, and support dignity for every girl. Support our work by buying your STAR Durable Pads today.

Did you know that only about 22% of Ugandan girls have access to sanitary pads?

Maybe you are able to afford and access your menstrual health products—but your sister, friend, or neighbor might not be.

When women and girls cannot access sanitary pads, they are often forced to use unsafe and unhygienic alternatives such as old cloths, soil, or toilet paper. These methods are not only uncomfortable — they increase the risk of infections, including STIs.

By purchasing STAR Durable pads from us, you make a difference in two ways:
💪🏾You secure your own menstrual health.
💪🏾You support girls who cannot afford pads through our Menstrual Health Awareness and Sexual Reproductive Health training programs.

Together, we can create better, safer periods for all girls and women.
