A youth-led organisation working in rural areas of Uganda to help minimize menstrual stigma, through health education, SRHR & making re-usable sanitary pads.
Over the weekend, we visited Nkono Memorial School in Namutumba where we distributed 200 sanitary reusable pads all thanks to @AFRIpads. Special thanks to our friends @HealthConvoy @TEACH4UG for joining us.
Giving a girl the tools she will need to make a living, stay in school, stand on her own, speak up in life & most importantly, end child marriage. @TellastoryUg in partnership with @HealthConvoy and @TEACH4UG @SharuNest #EndChildMarriage @YALIRLCEA
#IWD23 With this year's theme "DigitALL in innovation and technology for gender equality". Today we celebrate women who are creating change. I encourage women to go for those opportunities that they felt they couldn't go for. #EmbraceEquity #WomensDay2023 #WomenInSTEM
Congratulations to our Cohort 35 alumna @ItunguJ from Uganda for cascading impact in your community. @SharuNest empowers women in rural Uganda to be self-employed through fashion & design skills. @USAIDKenya @USAmbUganda @KenyattaUni @YALIRLCAlumniUg @usmissionuganda
After completing our fashion and design course, one can get employment in garment manufacturing unit or get self employed by opening a tailoring shop, work at home and or stay employed by @SharuNest. @YALIRLCEA @usmissionuganda @RaisingTeensUg1 @GirlsNotBrides @YALIRLCAlumniUg
I have visited more than 17 countries in Africa , I know the about something called SDGs but I have a strong feeling that unless the young people come out of poverty then it’s so hard to realize these targets .Let us work on how to help young people get capital .
