Changing the narrative for women and girls across Uganda
For Her Foundation (FHF) is a non-profit organization established in 2020 to support charitable and educational projects designed to improve the welfare, status, and potential of African women and children and promote respect for their rights.
We were founded to respond to the reality that millions of girls in Uganda do not go to school because they lack access to sanitary pads and corresponding reproductive health education.
"Eliminating obstacles so that all girls can reach new heights, and all women can achieve their dreams."
- Our Mission
Eliminating obstacles so that all girls can reach new heights, and all women can achieve their dreams.
A world where every woman and girl has access to menstrual health products, education, and opportunities to thrive.
On Friday, October 8th, 2021, Counsel Sheila Namahe partnered with singer Sheebah Karungi to launch For Her Foundation - a menstrual health campaign aimed at raising awareness around the heightened menstruation-related challenges women and girls face in communities.
The campaign started with distributing 7,000 packets of pads to Gaba (Kitogo), Namuwongo, Makindye, and Nabisalu.
"If condoms are free, why can't pads be free so that every girl accesses them?"
- Sheila Namahe, Founder

Comprehensive initiatives designed to empower women and girls across Uganda
We strive for equality for all women, regardless of their economic status, class, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, or nationality.
We aim to address gender inequality through our programs, initiatives, and grants by implementing systemic solutions.
Our mission revolves around empowering girls. We involve young women in roles as activists, donors, and leaders.
It is crucial for the success of our mission to involve men as allies, partners, and champions for gender equity.
