"I was that girl — and for me, it was traumatic.

I couldn’t handle my period for years after my first one…

there was so much guessing, gambling, and shame — and the fear of smelling, leaking, or “getting it wrong. Oh, I stunk, I leaked and got it wrong!"

Today on #DayOfTheGirl, we celebrate girls’ power and potential. 🩸

At #FlowReady, we equip pre-menarchial girls with knowledge, kits, and support — so periods don’t hold them back, they push them forward.

#MenstrualHealth

That’s why we’re working to stock the school safe room — not only with supplies like buckets, pads & sheets, but with painkillers. Too often, girls are told to simply “power through” the pain as if it’s just nature. Help us change that. Help us keep these girls pain-free.

We’re official! FlowReady is now a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
Together we’re ending many myths including that #menstruation = marriage.
Girls deserve school, dignity, and brighter futures
Join us and reach girls before the #firstperiod.

#FlowReady #MenstrualHealth fun with the kiddos before pumping them with period info and products.

Three months later, we’re back at St. Luke Makembo Primary School in Mayuge — checking in on how our FlowReadyNow kit, including reusable pads is working for the girls, how the boys are supporting them, and how parents are getting involved. #MenstruationMatters

It’s honestly unbelievable how many of you are stepping up. Every contribution, big or small, is a ripple of impact — and we are so thankful beyond measure.
If you’ve given, shared, or cheered us on: THANK YOU. You’re helping rewrite the story for girls who deserve every opportunity to thrive.

We cannot end period poverty without ending toilet poverty. And we cannot build a better future for girls if we ignore the most basic question they’re still being forced to ask:

Where can I go?

#MenstrualHygieneDay #sanitation #MHDay2025

In many parts of the world, including Uganda, 66% of girls face their first period without any prior knowledge, leading to stigma and misinformation. #FlowReady is changing this by equipping pre-menarchial girls with critical knowledge about #menstruation.

This activation in Makembo happened! And - it was terrific!
Be on the look-out for the reports.

We’re Gearing Up for Our Next Outreach!

Our outreach officer has already hit the ground running, delivering essential hygiene materials—including soap, tissues, and underwear—to girls in Mayuge. Both pre-menarchial girls and those already menstruating are receiving the support they need!

Do the benefits of #SustainablePads #ReusablePads outweigh the cons?
At #FlowReady, we often find ourselves reflecting on this question. While we're committed to promoting environmental & product sustainability, we also recognize the challenges that come with reusable pads.🧵

#Menstruationmatters to the #SDGs.

Oh, the pain! Young lady, we hear you loud & clear! Period pain is no joke!
That sharp, twisting ache in your lower belly that leaves you unable to stand or walk, forcing you to curl up, crawl, or lie still, waiting 4 relief.
Get girls to & through #menarche with #FlowReady!
