“So Sure is a product created by women for women. We believe that every woman and girl has the right to have access to high quality menstrual hygiene solutions that enable them live life to the fullest. Yet, many girls across Uganda don’t have access to menstrual hygiene solutions that are affordable, safe and long lasting. Without proper protection, many girls stay home during their periods, causing them to miss up to 4-5 school days per month. Over 4% of girls have dropped out of school due to lack of sanitary pads. We are here to make sure you remain in school and achieve your dreams”, he stated.

690 menstrual kits were donated to the students with Sunlight washing detergent sachet to 650 boarding students and 40 female teachers.

Bruce explained that they were invited by the school management and are open to institutions that need their services.
