Menstrual hygiene is a challenge faced by many girls in the country due to the cost of sanitary pads. Not many of them can afford them consistently and continuously. We visited a girls school in Bungatira where we trained teenage girls on menstrual hygiene. During the session, we taught them on how to make their own pads.

The Duke’s Foundation visited and supported vulnerable children that are infected and affected by Nodding syndrome; a sickness that causes loss of sense and drowsiness in humans, mostly in children at their center at Odek Sub-county, Omoro District, Northern Uganda.  Among the support given were soap, maize flour, sugar, cooking oil, salt and clothes.
