A charity launched by an East Midlands entrepreneur has given a “significant” grant to the Ugandan Red Cross to improve the lives of up to 50,000 girls and women in the country.
The Randal Charitable Foundation has partnered with the health organisation to build a factory in the East African nation making reusable sanitary pads.
As well as helping women and girls with their periods, the factory, in the central Mukono district, will provide jobs for more than 200 vulnerable females who will be trained the make and market the pads.
