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.

We are currently in the works of looking into developing a tailoring center to ensure the long term sustainability and viability of the pad program. With this center, we hope to expand the pad program to other schools within the Rakai District and provide training to female staff at the schools. With these new steps, we hope to be able to reach out to more young girls and also provide economic opportunities and employment through tailoring training. In this way, not only can girls continue their educations, but they also have a way to be economically independent.

We will continue updating you on our progress with this tailoring center, as well as the pad project. Until then, please continue your generous support. The provision of resuable sanitary pads has the potential to change so many more girls' lives, and GlobeMed at GW and Set Her Free wholeheartedly thanks you for your incredible support of our project thus far. Your contributions make the provision of reusable sanitary pads possible, and have the power to impact the world.

Thank you,

The Staff at GlobeMed at GW and Set Her Free
