Around the world, girls lack the ability and support to manage their periods with dignity.
They may miss up to 4 days of school each month.
They may trade themselves (or be traded) to receive hygiene products.
Taboos and mis-information cause confusion, embarrassment and shame.
WorldServe International is working to change this for women and girls in three ways:
- Equipping girls with a year’s supply of biodegradable sanitary pads and quality undergarments.
- Educating girls about their bodies through health curriculum presented with compassion and grace.
- Employing women to earn a fair wage by working to sustainably produce sanitary pads for their local communities.
Girls No Longer Have To Miss School
Join THIS GIRL to provide dignity, health and education.
$15 a month provides the dignity, health, and education every girl deserves. In East Africa, WorldServe International distributes 100% compostable sanitary pads (made locally by women employed at a fair wage), along with a comprehensive menstrual health curriculum, and undergarments. Without this basic dignity, a girl can miss up to 4 days of school each month!
