Hope For Flowers Project

The project seeks to increase access and retention of learners in school. Teso North Hope for the Flowers project intends to make the schools comfortable for the learners with all the facilities required that includes sufficient water and comfortable lavatories for use. The leaners will also be equipped with life skills to reduce teenage pregnancies that result in school dropouts and parents will be trained on celebrating families, a module that promotes positive parenting skills. Overall the learners will be trained and equipped with skills of making reusable sanitary towels for themselves. That way they will be able to comfortably manage their menses on their own.
