It’s okay to talk about periods because silence shouldn't cause shame.

Too many girls miss school, feel embarrassed, or suffer in silence, just because of a natural part of life. It’s time we changed that.

Let’s create safe spaces where girls can speak freely, learn without fear, and without shame.

Because dignity, health, and confidence during menstruation should never be a privilege; they’re a right.

Naguru Teenage Centre (NTC), through the SHE SOARS project, is empowering the young people in the West Nile and greater Northern Uganda with vocational skills. We are addressing high unemployment and poverty among youth, which has in turn led to an increase in teenage pregnancy, drug and substance abuse, and other issues.

We are operationalizing the Uganda National Youth Policy, which aims to unlock the potential of youth for sustainable wealth creation and general development. Ultimately, the results of these interventions shall contribute to the National Development Plan (NDP), which also prioritizes youth empowerment through skilling, which is critical for economic growth.
