ATF and CHY Commemorate the Day of the African Child with Sports and Menstrual Health Initiative at Cesia Primary School

Adjumani, Uganda – Amani Transformational Foundation (ATF), in partnership with Create Hope in Youth (CHY), commemorated the Day of the African Child with a community outreach at Cesia Primary School, bringing together learners, teachers, volunteers, and community members for a day of empowerment, education, and celebration.

The event featured a Football Exhibition Match, providing young people with an opportunity to showcase teamwork, sportsmanship, and unity while promoting the positive role of sport in child development and community engagement.

In addition, ATF and CHY conducted a Menstrual Hygiene Education session for schoolgirls, creating a safe space to discuss menstrual health, break harmful stigma, and encourage confidence and dignity. The session concluded with the distribution of reusable sanitary pads, equipping girls with sustainable menstrual products to help them stay in school and continue learning without interruption.

The activity reflected the shared commitment of ATF and CHY to promoting the rights, health, and well-being of children through practical, community-led initiatives. It also marked an important milestone in the growing partnership between the two organizations, demonstrating how collaboration can create meaningful and lasting impact.

ATF extends its sincere appreciation to the leadership and members of CHY, the administration of Cesia Primary School, our dedicated volunteers, and everyone who contributed to making the event a success.

ATF Commemorates Menstrual Health Day 2026 by Supporting Over 60 Girls at Etele Primary School

28 May 2026 | Etele Primary School

In commemoration of Menstrual Health Day 2026, Amani Transformational Foundation (ATF) conducted a menstrual health outreach at Etele Primary School, where sanitary pads were distributed to over 60 school-going girls.

The activity was led by ATF volunteers Mr. Patrick Enzama and Ms. Raleo Sharon, who engaged learners on the importance of menstrual hygiene, self-confidence, and the need to break the stigma surrounding menstruation.

This year’s Menstrual Health Day theme, “Together for a #PeriodFriendlyWorld,” calls for collective action to ensure that every girl and woman can manage menstruation safely, hygienically, and with dignity. Despite progress in menstrual health awareness, many girls across Uganda continue to face challenges accessing menstrual products, adequate sanitation facilities, and accurate information about menstrual health.

For many learners, these challenges can lead to school absenteeism, reduced participation in class activities, and a loss of confidence. Through this outreach, ATF sought to contribute to a future where menstruation never becomes a barrier to education or personal development.

Speaking during the activity, volunteers encouraged the girls to embrace open conversations about menstrual health and to prioritize proper hygiene practices. The distribution of sanitary pads provided immediate support while also reinforcing the message that every girl deserves dignity, care, and equal opportunities to thrive.

At Amani Transformational Foundation, we believe that empowering girls is essential to building stronger communities. Supporting menstrual health is not only a health intervention—it is an investment in education, gender equality, and the future of our society.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Mr. Patrick Enzama and Ms. Raleo Sharon for their commitment to serving the community and helping make this initiative a success.

As we mark Menstrual Health Day 2026, we reaffirm our commitment to promoting the well-being, education, and empowerment of girls and young women across our communities.

Together, we can create a Period-Friendly World where no girl is left behind.
