Hello, everyone!
I am glad to inform you that Global Bridge Network has reached its 4th year.
Pls review the annual report → H31R1_Annual_Report_en.pdf
We have managed to successfully complete the third term of our two main projects, regarding international support in Uganda.
“Improvement of school environment to combat Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) “ “Improvementof Educational Environment for Girls”
"Environmental Protection
through Expanding Lemon Grass Growing and Education in Uganda" “EnvironmentalProtectionand Education”
Unfortunately, the environmental protection through lemon grass growing has come to an end this year.
However, as our final achievement, ‘the mosquito repellant jelly’ made from lemon grass essential oil which will be used as prevention from malaria, has been successfully initiated. This production has been greatly popular among local communities and our local partner SORAK will promote this business.

Also, allow me to share the reports of Ms. Hadijah from SORAK, who participated in the 9-month training course (from March 2019) for rural leaders training program at the Asian Rural Institute (ARI) in Japan.
Well, let me share our current situation over COVID-19 pandemic. Right now, we are facing a halt within our activities
We had planned to initiate a social business of lemon grass essential oil in collaboration with a Japanese company, as well as expand our project of girls’ MHM project through our original product, sanitary pads called ‘Happy Pad’
In this case, we take this situation as an opportunity to consider what we can do and prepare for the next step.
However, we are going to start a small project to support kids’ education in the slum community using a self-fund. This project is meant to be as a trial starting with a small scale but
We really hope everyone stays safe and happy in this trying period as we continue to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic.
Thank you so much for your continuous love and support and looking forward to seeing you soon.
