KEEPING OUR GIRLS IN SCHOOL
At Beta Charitable Trust, we believe passionately that education is a fundamental right for everyone and nobody should miss out on their education because of poverty and especially NOT PERIOD POVERTY.
We have been working with our partners CHEPS in rural and urban KENYA and with our partners , DESK AND CHAIR Foundation in Moshi, Arusha for the cottage industry production of Reusable Sanitary Kits. We are delighted that we have distributed over 13,800 kits so far.
Kits are distributed by dedicated health professionals who champion the “Keeping Our Girls In School” Campaign with the local education authorities and explain the importance of feminine hygiene to the students.
The campaign empowers the women and girls themselves by providing seamstresses with a valuable income and ensuring access to sanitary products to combat period poverty.
We are delighted to have recently supported CLICKRukiga in launching the production of reusable sanitary pads for the youth in the county of Kamwezi in Uganda. BCT organised readymade reusable packs ordered from our partners in Arusha and we match funded the amount raised by CLICKRukiga to get the project into motion.
On World Earth Day, the positive impact of this campaign on the Earth’s environmental crisis cannot be underestimated; reducing throw away sanitary products that are high in plastic and chemical content and the high production costs that those incur are just some of the ways the ecologically sound packs are helping environmental challenges.

rOHINGYA cOMMUNITY APPEAL
The plight of the Rohingya people is a desperately sad and forgotten one.
A devastating fire swept through the Rohingya refugee camp on Saturday 7th January, destroying 1,000 shelters and leaving over 7,000 people without a home.
Our partners on the ground are already on the ground supporting victims at this critical time.
Over 740,000 people from the Rohingya community fled to cross the border of Myanmar to escape into Cox’s Bazar, amid the increasingly horrific and violent conflict that was unfolding in their homeland.
The community within this horrendous refugee camp has no hope of change.
