Dear Partner,

As you are aware, many school girls, menstruation is a monthly challenge that often disrupts their education and affects their self-confidence. In response to this, Girls Education Mission (GEM) International has been providing free sanitary pads to 50 school girls participating in the #IamPossible Mentorship Program. Through this initiative, GEM International is not only addressing the issue of menstrual hygiene but also ensuring that these girls can attend school with dignity and confidence. The monthly provision of free sanitary pads has had a profound impact on the lives of these young girls. Many of them used to miss school during their periods due to lack of access to proper sanitary products, which affected their academic performance and overall well-being. Now, with consistent access to sanitary pads, these girls no longer have to worry about missing classes or feeling uncomfortable during their periods. They are empowered to focus on their education, stay in school, and actively participate in their communities.

This initiative is a critical step towards breaking the stigma around menstruation and promoting menstrual hygiene management, allowing girls to live healthy, empowered lives without the barriers of menstrual poverty.

The free sanitary pad program has already transformed the lives of 50 school girls, helping them stay in school and focus on their futures. But there is so much more to be done.

Zainab one of the girls said: "I've never missised school since you've staterd giving us sanitary pad for free monthly".

To sustain impact of girls like Zainab, This year, as our Executive Director Keturah cloked 40 year on Septemebr 25th, she is raising funds to not only support 40 school girls with scholarships and 40 business girls with startup grants but also to set up a sanitary pad production company. This company will ensure that even more girls have access to affordable and sustainable menstrual products, empowering them to stay in school and reach their full potential. Your donation can help make this vision a reality. By contributing, you are not only supporting education and mentorship for girls but also providing a sustainable solution to menstrual hygiene.

Together, we can create a world where no girl has to miss school due to her period. Join us in celebrating Keturah’s leadership and the incredible impact of GEM International. Every donation helps us take another step toward achieving menstrual equity and ensuring that girls can pursue their education without barriers.

Donation recieved will help us set up a sanitary pad production company to continue supporting the education and empowerment of girls!

Thank  you
