Our Work: Uganda
A Space For Women, By Women.
At Bloom Together Collective, we are working hand-in hand with our partners on the ground in Uganda to establish a Menstrual Hygiene Center - a sustainable space where women lead the way in creating change. This upcoming center will serve as both a production hub and a place of opportunity, where local women can earn a fair wage, gain hands-on sewing experience, and produce reusable sanitary pads that support the health and education of girls across their communities.
It will also host workshops on menstrual hygiene management, providing age-appropriate education that equips girls with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to manage their periods safely and with dignity.
These sessions help dismantle stigma, raise awareness, and reduce school absenteeism caused by lack of access and information.
This is more than a facility — it’s a center where futures bloom.
We believe in a future where menstruation is not a barrier to education.
​​​
Over 500 women and girls across Uganda have received reusable sanitary pad kits and attended a menstrual hygiene management training through our outreach efforts.
​
Together, we’re creating life-changing opportunities for women, delivering access to safe menstrual care for girls, and investing in sustainable livelihoods that stay rooted in the community.
​
With the launch of the Menstrual Hygiene Center, we’re building on this momentum — establishing a locally led, lasting solution that restores access to dignity, health, and opportunity.

Meet Amina, Our Local Fabric Provider
We work with women like Amina, a local fabric vendor in Uganda, to source high-quality materials directly from the community. By partnering with women across the supply chain — from sourcing to production — we ensure that each pad is not only thoughtfully made but also fuels the local economy and honors the people it's made for.
