When escaping violence or natural disasters, girls often must flee at a moment’s notice, travelling for days, alone and empty-handed as they seek refuge. When they arrive, this kit holds so much more than everyday items for them. Soap, a toothbrush and toothpaste can mean less chance of getting sick, protecting her health. Sanitary products like menstrual pads promote hygiene and prevent stigmatization, so she can continue to attend classes, with confidence. A flashlight shines added security when seeking a latrine at night, while a brush and towel maintain her right to human dignity. Filled to the brim with essential basics, this gift helps girls stay strong, carry on and push forward, with their heads held high.
In Malawi, this gift helped distribute vital sanitary menstrual pads to over 8,900 girls and women in need in a refugee settlement, where proper hygiene is especially crucial to ensuring girls’ health. Sanitary pads are just one component of this gift that helps restore girls’ wellbeing and protect their dignity by supplying essential health items – especially in refugee camps where such resources are particularly hard to come by.
