Happy Girls Project

We are a grassroots community-led organization dedicated to ending period poverty in Uganda and empowering vulnerable Ugandan girls and women by supporting their education. We are based in Lake Bunyonyi, our paradise, in Southwest Uganda.

Did you know that, in Uganda, 1 out of 4 girls drops out of school because of their periods?

Our organization provides menstrual health education, access to menstrual hygiene products, and supports sustainable menstrual hygiene management practices. Our goal is to increase access to menstrual hygiene products and destigmatize menstruation in Uganda.

We also run educational workshops to promote respectful relationships, prevent gender-based violence and provide a safe space for our girls and women to discuss what they are going through.

We have recently started a community-based tourism center led by women, to increase women's participation in the tourism industry in Uganda. All profits generated go back to Happy Girls Project.
