We are making progress

As you are aware we are working on a number of sub-projects, under the 'One Brick at a Time' main project. The most important of which is the Bergnek Community Clinic. 

What's happened so far

Last year we went ahead and purchased the land where the Bergnek Community Clinic will be located. We also had the preliminary design done for clinic building, that will include a space for the GirlStuffPeriod.org business to move into. The reason we chose to co-locate the clinic and the menstrual products business is that the education that is provided and delivered by the GirlStuffPeriod.org team is health related and address proper use and care of menstrual products and supplies as well as education about healthy reproductive practices.

Co-locating the two services can only serve to increase access to the products and medical services as well as provide mothers and mothers-to-be with the knowledge and support they need.

Share your Excitement

We ask that you forward this project report to 2 friends or begin your own fundraising page for the cause here on GlobalGiving.

We are grateful for your ongoing support and for all you, as a donor, have already done to create positive change in the Bergnek community, and are always grateful for you our supporters, and especially for those of you who give to the One Brick at a Time project every month. Thank you for your contributions, your messages and for sharing the work we do with the wonderful people of Bergnek. We appreciate you and the people of Bergnek most certainly do too. 

We won't give up on the communities we serve, and we know you won't either!
