Since 2012, girl absenteeism linked to menstruation has risen from 7% to 28%. This year, MCS distributed factory-made sanitary pads to 500 girls across Nambogo, Pajangango, and Magola primary schools. We also built dedicated changing rooms at Nambogo and Magola primary schools, and trained all three schools in making their own reusable pads from locally sourced materials. The changing room at Magola Primary School was officially opened on 28th February 2025 by Mr. and Mrs. Iain Patton.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-922 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.magalen.org\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Official-opening-of-changing-room-in-Magola-Primary-School-by-Mr.-and-Mrs.-Iain-Patton-on-28th-Feb-2025-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"440\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.magalen.org\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Official-opening-of-changing-room-in-Magola-Primary-School-by-Mr.-and-Mrs.-Iain-Patton-on-28th-Feb-2025-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.magalen.org\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Official-opening-of-changing-room-in-Magola-Primary-School-by-Mr.-and-Mrs.-Iain-Patton-on-28th-Feb-2025-1.jpg 664w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-923 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.magalen.org\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Official-opening-of-changing-room-in-Magola-Primary-School-by-Mr.-and-Mrs.-Iain-Patton-on-28th-Feb-2025-2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"448\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.magalen.org\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Official-opening-of-changing-room-in-Magola-Primary-School-by-Mr.-and-Mrs.-Iain-Patton-on-28th-Feb-2025-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.magalen.org\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Official-opening-of-changing-room-in-Magola-Primary-School-by-Mr.-and-Mrs.-Iain-Patton-on-28th-Feb-2025-2.jpg 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>10 women economically empowered<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Women in Tororo district make up 51.5% of the population but have historically been excluded from owning land or generating their own income. This year, MCS supported 10 women to own their own gardens, grow their own crops, and take on agricultural work traditionally reserved for men. One of those women is Nyakoi Dorothy, who now runs a tomato garden, a banana plantation, and a goat shelter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">&#8220;I can now sell my produce and buy whatever I want instead of pleading with my husband.&#8221; \u2014 Nyakoi Dorothy<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>3 schools supported with education and feeding programmes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">MCS supports three primary schools in Magola Sub County \u2014 Magola, Nambogo, and Pajangango. This year we provided scholastic materials to pupils, trained senior women teachers in reproductive health, and mentored head teachers in school leadership and community engagement. We also established a two-acre school garden at Magola Primary School, training pupils, teachers, and parents in organic farming. The first harvest yielded 500 kilograms of maize \u2014 with 80% of pupils currently going the entire school day without food, this programme is critical and needs continued support.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-929\" src=\"https:\/\/www.magalen.org\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Pupils-planting-maize-and-soya-in-school-garden-after-attending-organic-farming-training-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"372\" height=\"248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.magalen.org\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Pupils-planting-maize-and-soya-in-school-garden-after-attending-organic-farming-training-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.magalen.org\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Pupils-planting-maize-and-soya-in-school-garden-after-attending-organic-farming-training-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.magalen.org\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Pupils-planting-maize-and-soya-in-school-garden-after-attending-organic-farming-training-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.magalen.org\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Pupils-planting-maize-and-soya-in-school-garden-after-attending-organic-farming-training-2-391x260.jpg 391w, https:\/\/www.magalen.org\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Pupils-planting-maize-and-soya-in-school-garden-after-attending-organic-farming-training-2-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/www.magalen.org\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Pupils-planting-maize-and-soya-in-school-garden-after-attending-organic-farming-training-2.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 372px) 100vw, 372px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-928\" src=\"https:\/\/www.magalen.org\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Pupils-planting-maize-and-soya-in-school-garden-after-attending-organic-farming-training-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"347\" height=\"231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.magalen.org\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Pupils-planting-maize-and-soya-in-school-garden-after-attending-organic-farming-training-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.magalen.org\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Pupils-planting-maize-and-soya-in-school-garden-after-attending-organic-farming-training-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.magalen.org\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Pupils-planting-maize-and-soya-in-school-garden-after-attending-organic-farming-training-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.magalen.org\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Pupils-planting-maize-and-soya-in-school-garden-after-attending-organic-farming-training-1-391x260.jpg 391w, https:\/\/www.magalen.org\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Pupils-planting-maize-and-soya-in-school-garden-after-attending-organic-farming-training-1-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/www.magalen.org\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Pupils-planting-maize-and-soya-in-school-garden-after-attending-organic-farming-training-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 347px) 100vw, 347px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>5 elderly women cared for<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">MCS volunteers visited five elderly women in Magola Sub County this year \u2014 fumigating homes, washing clothes, and cleaning compounds.
