Backpacks for teenage girls, providing dignity, education, and a future.
In many African villages, teenage girls miss an average of one week of school per month because they lack access to basic menstrual hygiene products. Due to poverty, families lack the money for necessary hygiene items.
Out of shame, lack of hygiene, and misunderstanding, these girls often dare not go to school. Sometimes they stay home for extended periods and are used for household chores, which ultimately leads them to drop out of school altogether. This further diminishes their chances of education and a hopeful future.
With just one care package, you make a huge difference. It gives girls dignity, confidence, and the ability to maintain their normal school routine. This way, they can simply be children, keep learning, and build their future.
Contents of one care package:
1 washcloth
1 bar of soap
* 2 sets of underwear
* 4 inserts
2 protectors
