At Wabibi Pads Limited, we are proud to stand alongside impactful grassroots organizations as a reliable partner in driving community transformation.

​On behalf of our partners at MIDA, we are thrilled to report on a vital outreach program held in Morukakise, Ngora District. During this initiative, MIDA successfully distributed over 500 washable, eco-friendly Wabibi Pads to adolescent girls to protect their health and secure their right to education.

​Studies across Uganda indicate that nearly 30% of adolescent girls miss school every month during their period, leading to a loss of approximately 20% of their academic year and significantly increasing the risk of early school dropouts. By equipping these young learners with reusable menstrual kits, MIDA is actively eliminating these attendance gaps, restoring confidence, and ensuring continuous learning for every girl.

​We extend our sincere gratitude to the local leadership and local authorities of Ngora District and Morukakise for their essential guidance, commitment, and dedicated leadership throughout this outreach. Together with MIDA and our local partners, we remain committed to creating a future where no girl misses a single day of school because of her period.

Every girl deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and achieve her full potential without menstruation standing in her way. Yet, for many girls, period stigma, limited access to menstrual products, and a lack of open communication continue to create barriers to education and confidence.

Meaningful conversations between mothers, daughters, caregivers, and communities play a vital role in changing this reality. When girls feel informed, supported, and understood, they are better equipped to manage their menstrual health with confidence and dignity. These conversations help break harmful myths, reduce shame, and create safe spaces where girls can ask questions, seek guidance, and feel empowered.

At Wabibi Pads, we believe that menstrual health is not just a women's issue—it is an education, health, and human rights issue. By providing sustainable menstrual solutions and promoting open dialogue, we are helping girls stay in school, participate fully in daily life, and pursue their dreams without interruption.

Together, we can build a future where no girl misses school because of her period, where every girl has access to accurate information and menstrual products, and where confidence replaces silence. Every conversation matters. Every action counts. Every girl deserves dignity.
