The Omukyala Campaign
Imagine facing your period without access to basic hygiene products. This is the reality for millions of women and girls around the world, a struggle known as menstrual poverty. It forces them to miss school, work, and social activities, hindering their opportunities and wellbeing. Together, we can break the silence and ensure every woman and girl has the basic tools they need to manage their period with dignity and confidence. Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to your support!
Cycle of Care
Skills for Change’s Omukyala campaign: Cycle of Care is transforming lives in Uganda and empowering women, and girls. This campaign aims to provide 500 ‘five-in-one’ packets to vulnerable women and girls, offering essential support and resources for a brighter future.
Our reusable sanitary pads are more than just a product – they represent a chance to restore dignity, health, and hope. By supporting our initiative, you are helping to create a more equitable world, one pad at a time.
Together, we can break the silence and ensure every woman and girl has the basic tools they need to manage their period with dignity and confidence. Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to your support!

Tailoring
We want to offer vulnerable women (single mothers with able-bodied and disabled children, widows etc) the opportunity to choose a better life for themselves and their children. We provide them with handicraft training opportunities to enable them to have a chance to work and gain income for their well-being. We work with reusable materials and teach the women to make sellable products like reusable diaper pants and sanitary pads
Responsible Parenting
Through this project we provide responsible parenting sessions where parents are introduced to different types of birth control devices.
The sessions are organized in schools and communities and taught by a local nurse spon.
The Safe Water Project
Even tap water is not safe and every year, many young children under the age of 5 pass on from
drinking contaminated water. By offering a water filter, children will have a better chance of
survival.
Malaika4wc will be sponsoring the first water filter for women/parents in need of them, to encourage the need for safe water
