Maternity Work in the Clinic
CRESS’s clinic outreach programme include RUMPS training for young women. In rural Northern Uganda, most people are on a very low income. Many girls’ families may not have enough money for disposable pads, and children do not have money of their own.
This is why we take RUMPs training to the schools, so girls do not have such a disadvantage due to their periods. In July CRESS conducted our second RUMPs training this time in Imvepi Refugee Settlement Secondary School. The team use locally sourced materials so the girls know they can replicate their pads.
They each make their own RUMP during the training and are also given new underwear to help them as that is also something many girls lack.
