- Abstract
- This article, published on July 18, 2019, discusses how Mastercard Foundation Scholars founded Girls Alive Uganda to reduce high school dropout rates in Uganda's Tororo District (30.7%). Supported by winning the Resolution Social Venture Challenge, the initiative trains young women to make reusable sanitary pads from cotton materials. This skill addresses crucial absenteeism caused by the lack of affordable products.
