Project Report | Jan 13, 2015
Spring Goals

By Angela Chen | Director Individual Giving

Dear Supporters,

Your generous support has already helped GlobeMed raise over $5,000 in funds for reusable sanitary kits to help schoolgirls at the Glory of Christ Primary School continue their education! Their periods no longer have to hinder their access to education and success.

Moving forward, our GlobeMed team hopes to expand this project as mentioned earlier on in the year by beginning the preliminary process of creating a tailoring center to make the pad project more sustainable and provide economic opportunities. A tailoring center is a great way to give the girls living in the slums of Uganda useful technical training and provide them with a source of employment. We are also aiming to expand the pad program to other schools within the Rakai District in Uganda, so that other girls are able to continue their education unhindered. 

Before the end of this spring, we will post another update letting you know about the progress of our pad project and the tailoring center. Until then, GlobeMed at GW wholeheartedly thanks you for your incredible support of our project. Your contributions make the provision of reusable sanitary pads possible, and have the power to change so many girls' futures for the better. 

Thank you,

The Staff at GlobeMed at GW
