What happens when dance meets menstrual justice?
Koona DanceWorkout and the DWONA Initiative (under GivingTuesday Uganda) hosted Dance With A Purpose at Lugogo Indoor Arena in Kampala, mobilizing the community for menstrual justice and the RUMPs for Rural Girls program, which uses art and play-based learning for menstrual education and sustainable pad-making. The event drew 124 participants in the morning and 115 in the evening, raising UGX 8,365,000 to keep girls in school.
Support from partners, including C-Care, Sting, Aquafina, CivSource Africa, Fitness Junction, Rush Fitness Centre, Nella, and Two Man Tribe, helped power impact beyond the dance floor. Funds will enable a partner school in Jinja to launch a Period Power Club and train girls in reusable pad-making. We also committed to quarterly fundraisers, setting the next target at 350 participants and UGX 12,250,000. Join the next session, sponsor a class, or donate to #PeriodGiving to help keep girls in school.
