A woman from Buleebi landing site calculated that she would have to spend around 42,000 Ugandan shillings a year on simple disposable sanitary towels for herself and her four daughters. That's around 10 euros per person, i.e. a total of 50 euros for the family and therefore more than te family pays annually for ground rental fees. How is that supposed to work? It’s disheartening to hear that women have to put their health at risk due to financial strain. That's one of the reasons why menstrual hygiene activities are so important to us.
