by Carolyn Ashworth | May 29, 2015 | What Does $1000 Do?

Back in March I submitted a grant to you for my Try Anything Rhino Project. I learned last week that I wasn’t selected to receive the grant. I’m writing to tell you that you made the right decision! I actually don’t need the grant! Since I made the submission to TPP, a lot of wonderful things have happened.

I genuinely thought I would need the grant funds to get the project off the ground, but it hasn’t been the case…. When I first thought of creating this project, I did so thinking I had a good shot at a grant from the Pollination Project. With that belief in the front of my mind, I got to work. So in a weird way, the Pollination Project helped me get started. Thank you for helping people to dream.

Resty Nabaggala, a dedicated advocate for gender equality and youth empowerment in Uganda, is working to tackle menstrual poverty and promote education for girls. Growing up in a rural area plagued by poverty, child marriages, and limited educational opportunities, Resty experienced firsthand the challenges that hindered girls` access to education.

After witnessing the stark realities faced by her peers—many of whom were forced into early marriages or dropped out of school due to menstruation-related issues—Resty became deeply committed to addressing the root causes of gender inequality and educational barriers in her community. This passion led her to establish the Here For Her Foundation, with the goal to empower girls and women by providing menstrual education, access to reusable sanitary pads, and advocacy for girls` rights.

Through initiatives like the Pad Her Project - supported by a seed grant from The Pollination Project - Resty and her team are working tirelessly to break the silence surrounding menstruation and dismantle the societal taboos that perpetuate menstrual poverty. By offering educational sessions, distributing reusable pads, and empowering girls with the knowledge and skills to manage their menstrual health, Resty aims to ensure that no girl is deprived of her right to education due to menstruation-related challenges.
