We are asking you to contribute to yet another great cause for these young girls in kasese through our campaign #PadThruCovid”.

Birungi Charities told this website that it has come to their attention that girls in Kasese are exchanging sex for sanitary pads.

According to the Kasese District Health Information systems, there were 7,319 teenage pregnancies registered in 2020. 115 of these girls were below 15 years old.

The District Health officials attribute this to poverty and lack of Sexual reproductive health sensitization.

“It broke my heart to hear this and I cannot just sit by while these young girls live their lives like this. We are not only fundraising for money but other basic needs like food and clothes to help support these vulnerable girls.
Any contribution you can make is highly appreciated,” Esther said.
