Check out this great article about our work in Drive the District.

The Pollination Project, a nonprofit founded by a Dallas-based businessman, is enabling activists to be the change they want to see.
“We really want to get behind people and be their cheerleaders,” said executive director Alissa Hauser.
Here’s how it works: Pollination Project awards $1,000 micro-grants to fund projects intended to positively impact communities worldwide, in fields as diverse as health, animal rights and the environment. The organization awards $1,000 each day of the year. In 2013, its first year of operation, they received 1,200 applications for 365 grants.

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.
