Women Manufacturing Biodegradable Sanitary Pads

Dear Donor,

We purposely don't ask a lot of donors understanding that there are many wonderful programs to donate to but a small donation subscription or any size donation that buys pads from locally-made and women-managed companies is powerful. Your act of kindness helps to keep girls in school and helps them be confident to sit in school all day without the worry of leaks..

Cloth pads are fine for home but difficult when a pad must be changed during the day. A biodegradable pad can be disposed of in a pit latrine or at least be able to be disposed of discreetly. While little by little add up to success, ultimately success is up to the young girl. We have found through all our program directors that sanitary pads are an emotionally important item for a girl that can take the worry out of being humiliated at school and keeps a girl motivated to aim for success in life.

It's remarkable how your token of support adds up. We see it all of the time. In fact, one of our partners in Kenya has received a grant to create a sanitary pad project at the Lenana Girls School after the girls received pads and were so motivated to make it their business to provide pads. These girls are motivated to help others and we are motivated to buy pads from them for the vulnerable girls who have no access to funds or sanitary pads. 

Thank you for helping us get this far and for supporting girls during this intimate time of the month. 

Stay safe and well!
