Gennem dette projekt fokuserede vi ikke kun på at levere disse vigtige produkter, men også på at investere i disse pigers iværksætteridéer og tekniske færdigheder som f.eks. at lave håndværk af genbrugsplast.
Kernen i initiativet ligger i at skabe en kollektiv indtægtspulje: Ved at støtte hinandens virksomheder skaffede vi midler til projektet. Vores fremtidige mål er at fremstille hygiejnebind af genanvendelige materialer, så de bliver mere overkommelige, bæredygtige og tilgængelige.
Selv om jeg i øjeblikket fokuserer på min uddannelse, er jeg stolt over at kunne sige, at andre Mercy Scouts-ledere fører faklen videre og sikrer, at projektet fortsætter med at trives! Jeg er så taknemmelig for væksten i dette initiativ og spændt på dets fremtid.

The Daisy Girls’ Initiative: Empowering Girls, One Step at a Time
The Daisy Girls’ Initiative was born out of a desire to ensure that every girl in my small village in Eastern Uganda has access to something many of us take for granted: clean sanitary towels.
Through this project, we focused on not just providing these essential products but also investing in the entrepreneurial ideas and technical skills of these girls like making crafts from recycled plastics.
The heart of the initiative lies in creating a collective pool of income—by supporting each other’s businesses, we raised funds for the project. Our future goal is to make sanitary towels from recyclable materials, making them more affordable, sustainable and accessible.
Although I’m currently focused on my education, I’m proud to say that other Mercy Scouts leaders are carrying the torch and ensuring the project continues to thrive! I’m so grateful for the growth of this initiative and excited for its future.
