Support the Walmer Primary School period poverty project In South Africa
Help transform the lives of 170 young girls in South Africa by ensuring they have access to menstrual hygiene products and education. Together, we can break the cycle of period poverty and keep these girls in school.
Together We Can Make a Difference
Why this project matters
Since 2014, the Girl Child (WAIT) project has been making a profound impact in Kibiri, Busabala, and Kampala. For too many girls, the lack of access to sanitary products means missing school during their periods or dropping out entirely.
With Jesca and Sylvia leading the initiative, we’re changing that by providing: - Menstrual hygiene education - Monthly supplies of disposable pads and knickers
Thanks to this support, over 400 girls in three schools – Destiny Junior, Busabala Primary, and Jjungo Primary and Secondary School – can now attend school with confidence and dignity.

What is period poverty?
Period poverty prevents millions of girls worldwide from attending school due to a lack of basic menstrual hygiene products. In South Africa, drought conditions make reusable products impractical, leaving disposable sanitary pads as the only option.
How we’re making a difference
Providing pads: Monthly funding of £180 supplies disposable sanitary pads.
Education and support: A dedicated nurse teaches menstrual hygiene and offers emotional support.
Empowering education: Girls can continue attending school with confidence and dignity.
