The organization is dedicated to empowering and uplifting the most vulnerable members of the society. We operate with the belief that every girl deserves access to quality education, dignity, and a fair shot at a brighter future in a good environment.
Since its Incorporation as a Community Based Organization, MUG Foundation has gained more courage and determination to change communities by promoting girls’ rights to education, proper and affordable health services and empowerment. MUG Foundation guided by the Ministry of Health principles, policies and guidelines works to find practical and innovative ways for girls and young mothers to lift themselves out of poor menstrual hygiene management living conditions and poverty. We promote safer periods for girls and help rebuild their abilities to gain self sustainability.
In all we do, MUG Foundation works with partner organizations, Local governments, private sector, corporate partners and individuals to end the injustices that cause poor menstrual health conditions, violence, teenage pregnancies and high levels of school drop outs. And whatever we do, we make sure that we preserve the environment because extreme environment conditions may disrupt access to clean water to manage periods hygienically.
