Hello supporters,
We have been feeling hopeful as our country's death toll drops. However, keeping up with India's need during the COVID pandemic has us heartbroken. Hearing that so many of our Indian friends are dealing with the death of family, friends and neighbors, we are helpless to have a large impact. We can't give them oxygen canisters or vaccines, but we can support the women who make the sanitary pads so they are able to make a living and feed their children. In turn, we also buy the pads from the women for the vulnerable girls and women who need sanitary pads. It may not fill their stomachs, but it does take away one more difficulty that woman must face during this painful chapter for India.
We appreciate your support during this time. We have conducted a fundraiser in the last few weeks so that our partner New Light can distribute meals. To date, since April 2020, New Light has distributed more than 1,000,000 meals. If you would like to donate $15, this small amount will feed someone for a week.
Thank you for your donations in the past and those of you who consistently buy pads. It is a way for women to feel dignity living in a red light district and it keeps the woman feeling liberated!
Thank you!
