Dear Donor,
Thank you for your past support of the sanitary pad project. Adequate management of menstrual hygiene is taken for granted, however, inadequate menstrual hygiene is a major problem for girls and women in resource-poor countries, which adversely affects the health and development of adolescent girls.
Why is a biodegradable pad the ultimate solution?
We are often asked why we don't promote cloth pads that are made by many nonprofit groups who are hoping to help girls and women or other hygiene options..
Why not other available options?
The biodegradable sanitary pad companies in India and Kenya are doing well and the women are working to grow their company. With you supporting girls with biodegradable sanitary pads, you are also supporting women's employment.
Please consider telling your friends and family about our project—you can share this link to our GlobalGiving project on social media, or just bring us up in conversation. Sharing with your community why you chose to support our organization will help us increase the work we can do for girls and women..
Gratefully yours,
Shana Greene
