Periods shouldn’t prevent girls from having the same opportunities as boys. But in many developing countries, girls miss school because of barriers to managing their periods and must resort to often unsafe methods like straw, newspapers and rags – to manage their periods. This gift can provide pads to girls and education on how to safely manage their periods. It will teach girls not only how to use the pads but can also teach them how to make pads themselves, which they can sell to earn an income. And it can provide education to both boys and girls through school health clubs to tackle issues of shame and stigma, so a period never stops any girl from unleashing her equal power.
With this gift, you’ll help girls seeking refuge from violence or natural disasters maintain their right to human dignity. This kit is filled to the brim with soap, toothpaste and sanitary products like menstrual pads. Your gift will help protect health, promote hygiene and prevent stigmatization so girls in need can carry on with confidence.
Given to expectant moms, your gift contains hygiene items, a warm wrap for swaddling little ones, and all of the basics needed to deliver babies and empower new moms. This gift is also helping improve access to health clinics and services for mothers and their children, delivering good health so they can both grow stronger, together.
This gift provides training for health workers of all stripes, from midwives to community health volunteers to nurses. It’s strengthening health systems by improving healthcare from the doorstep to the delivery room and everywhere in between – with a particular focus on assisting vulnerable women, newborns and children. Your gift is helping families get healthy and stay healthy so they can build healthier tomorrows.
