Teen Candle Initiative

Welcome on Board, Mrs. Lydia Nassimbwa!

Today we welcome another senior woman to our team — a mother, a community leader, and a valuable resource to fuel our mission and restore hope to girls.
She brings:
* 25+ years of motherhood + utmost compassion for teens
* 2+ years with government projects like Breast Cancer Awareness, where she spearheaded mobilization of 50+ women
* A heart for girls: She has seen girls in her community share pads and hide in latrines during their period — and this ignited her determination to bring change.

She will be part of the champions leading our Dec 1 delivery of 3-year reusable kits to 200 girls.

Because educators and mothers don’t quit on girls. Our founding educators are why 200 girls return to school.

Welcome home, Teacher Lydia. 🎉

Today, on World Health Day, we join the global community in celebrating health as a human right and reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that every individual—regardless of age, gender, location, or economic status—can access the health services they need to thrive.

We recognise that Menstrual health is central to overall well-being. When individuals, especially young people and marginalised communities, have access to Menstrual information and services, they are empowered to make informed choices, live with dignity, and contribute to a healthier, more equitable society.

Let’s continue working together to break down barriers, end stigma, and build an environment where everyone can enjoy the highest attainable standard of health—including sexual and menstrual health
