So Far in 2026!

• Access to Justice Impact: 610 women in Northern Uganda received legal aid, protection, and advocacy, with an 88% case resolution rate.
• Menstrual Health is a Human Right! 49 schools in Northern Uganda improved girls’ access to menstrual products and education, helping reduce barriers to learning.
• Agriculture and Food Security: 367 women farmers increased crop yields by 45% and household income by 38% through climate-smart farming and financing.

A Monthly Crisis Hidden in Plain Sight

The Healthy Periods Initiative highlights the profound transformation taking place across 49 schools in Northern Uganda through the strategic distribution of high-quality disposable sanitary pads coupled with comprehensive Menstrual Health Management (MHM) and education. Due to global conflict, shortages, and inflation, our costs have greatly increased, putting this vital, meaningful and transformative program at risk. Please consider making a donation today!

Impact: Local Food Economies Work!

During one of the worst droughts in decades, 567 women smallholder farmers in Uganda still achieved a 45% average increase in seasonal crop yields and a 38% boost in household net income through access to climate-smart agricultural inputs, micro-financing, and direct market links. As the drought continues and is expected to worsen, WGEF remains vigilant in climate adaptation and smart food storage strategies to stave off increasing food insecurity. But we cannot do it without your support!

Support us in our mission that ALL women have the right to affordable and accessible feminine health practices! Our HPI facility is open and ready to quadruple production; however, due to inflation, supplies and fuel have limited our capabilities. Please give today!
