South Africa  Women and Girls
Uneducated girls remain trapped in a cycle of denied rights & poverty throughout their lives. Fewer than 10% of girls in South Africa advance beyond Grade 8. Why? When they begin to menstruate they can't afford underwear or menstrual products and are teased mercilessly in school, so drop out. To break the poverty cycle it is imperative these girls get an education. You can help 2,500 girls get supplies they need to stay in school and employ 10 women to make re-usable products for thousands more. project reportread updates from the field
