Program area
Sexual & Reproductive Health and Rights
Eco Warriors advances sexual and reproductive health and rights by pairing accurate, youth-friendly information with practical support for menstrual dignity. The programme works with schools, families, health partners and young people so that girls can manage menstruation safely, confidently and without missing opportunities to learn. Our approach combines reusable-pad access and pad-making skills with stigma-free dialogue, safe and inclusive school environments, and engagement of boys, men and community leaders. It is grounded in the organisation’s work across Jinja City and Budondo Division, where menstrual-health outreach, training and community campaigns have reached thousands of girls and young people.
Our goal
Ensure that adolescents and communities can exercise their sexual and reproductive health rights with knowledge, dignity and support—while making menstrual health a practical, inclusive part of education, wellbeing and environmental sustainability.

Male Engagement
Male Engagement brings boys, men and male community leaders into respectful conversations about menstrual health and sexual and reproductive rights. It challenges harmful myths, promotes shared responsibility and encourages men and boys to become practical allies in creating supportive homes, schools and communities. By making inclusion and accountability central, the project helps ensure that menstrual dignity is not treated as a girls-only issue.
