Charity work in Uganda
‍Empowering girls through education,
Girl Child (WAIT) Project

At IRFF UK, we believe every girl deserves the opportunity to stay in school and achieve her dreams. Our charity work in Uganda is tackling period poverty through the Girl Child (WAIT) project, transforming lives and empowering communities.
Together We Can Make a Difference

Help girls in Uganda stay in school

Since 2014, the Girl Child (WAIT) project has been making a profound impact in Kibiri, Busabala, and Kampala. For too many girls, the lack of access to sanitary products means missing school during their periods or dropping out entirely. With Jesca and Sylvia leading the initiative, we're changing that by providing:

- Menstrual hygiene education
- Monthly supplies of disposable pads and knickers

Thanks to this support — generously sponsored by the FFWPU-UK — over 720 girls in three schools – Destiny Junior, Busabala Primary, and Jjungo Primary and Secondary School – can now attend school with confidence and dignity.

Real stories, real impact

"Before this project, I had to stay home every month because I didn’t have pads. Now, I can attend school every day and dream of becoming a nurse." – A beneficiary

Jesca, one of our project leaders, shares:
""This is a very impactful program, most of the beneficiaries are the poor of the poorest local child in those poor communities and very needy lake shore child. The schools, children and parents are very much grateful for the love and support , you have given them hope."
Let's create futures for those who dream
