ENVIROPADS FOR KEEPING GIRLS IN SCHOOL

In 2020, with collaborative effort between Candle Light Foundation, The Rotary Club of West Vancouver Sunrise, The Rotary Club of Kampala Nsambya, Rotary International, The Rotary Foundation Canada, and Clubs in District 5040 and District 9211. we started producing environmentally, friendly, reusable sanitary pads-EnviroPads , and training of Menstrual Hygiene Management in 6 schools in Mukono District.

This initiative, was an extension of Candle Light High School, with a clear mission: to empower girls and women through menstrual hygiene education and sanitation training while producing eco-friendly reusable sanitary pads known as 'EnviroPADS'

Today, 'EnviroPADS,' a unique brand of reusable sanitary pads designed to provide comfort, affordability, and sustainability to girls and women in need. Our goal is to break down the barriers that keep girls out of school during their menstruation by providing the knowledge, resources, and products they need for a brighter, uninterrupted educational journey.
