Susan (16 years) scored Aggregate 18 (Second Division as is graded under ugandan education system which is the second best grade) in the recently released National Primary Leaving Examination Results. 'Am confident of becoming a nurse'. I used to absent myself from school each months when am in my periods because it was very difficult for me to buy the pads so I could stay home and use old clothes to receive my periods to avoid shame at school. This used to affect me academicaly and I could perform poorly in my grades. But when Voice for Humanity Uganda started to give us Sanitary pads every months, I did not basent from school and my grades started to improve until I sat for my final primary leaving exams last year in 2022 and I performed very well. I will struggle to Join Secondary School untill I join nrusing school. I want to become a nurse so that I can serve my community especially young girls who have many health challenges.
Susan, has been in our Menstrual Health Program since 2019 when we partnered with her school (Fuda Primary School) in Adjumani Refugee settlement when she was still in primary Four . Since then, she has been part of the 72 girls whom we have been providing sanitary pads on monthly basis to keep them in school and ensure they complete their primary education with good grades.
