Empowering
Women & Girls

Imagine missing 5 days of school a month because you have your period. That's life for girls around the world - until now...

Girls Arise Uganda provides re-usable pads and menstrual education to girls and women so they can be educated, healthy and empowered.

​

Since its founding, Girls Arise Uganda has grown from a small grassroots initiative into a powerful voice for change—and much of that transformation can be credited to the passion and leadership of its founder, Sandra Abbo. What began as a vision to uplift vulnerable girls in Uganda has become a thriving organization rooted in advocacy, education, and empowerment.

​

Under Sandra’s guidance, Girls Arise Uganda has expanded its outreach dramatically. Through regular community dialogues, workshops, and youth empowerment forums, the organization now reaches hundreds of girls and young women each year with life-changing education, resources, and support. Her ability to mobilize volunteers, secure partnerships, and amplify the needs of underserved communities has made Girls Arise a trusted presence across the region.

​​

Today, thanks to Sandra’s vision, Girls Arise Uganda is more than an organization—it’s a movement. A growing network of girls, mentors, and allies committed to creating a future where every girl is educated, respected, and heard. 

​

Girls Arise Uganda is led by community experts in Tororo, Uganda, and powered in partnership with volunteer leads in the United States. Girls Arise Uganda is a registered 501(c)(3).
