African Child and Youth Development Initiatives (ACYDI)

To empower children, youths and women to focus, organize and work towards improved social-economic well-being.
We achieve this by empathy, social and economic empowerment through self-help projects, Advocacy, psycho-social support, community mobilization and sensitization, outreaches, health, networking and educational support.

This project will train 150 AGYW (10-24 Years) on menstruation management, pads making and donating/distribution of reusable sanitary pads to rural underprivileged Adolescent girls & Young Women (AGYW). This will increase their knowledge, attitude & practice on menstruation thus increased access to hygienic menstrual materials that'll reduce infections, school absenteeism, dropout, child marriage & unwanted pregnancies which are key contributing factors to school dropout in Uganda.
