A sewing machine for a widow in India quickly makes a huge difference. When a woman loses her husband and becomes a widow, she falls outside of everything. The family rejects her and she is no longer allowed to be part of the community. With a sewing machine and the accompanying lessons, she can generate income that allows her to take care of herself and not be forced to beg on the street and live on the street. You can make a big difference in the lives of these women in a fairly simple way.
Many high school teenage girls in Africa miss school lessons on average one week a month because they cannot attend school during the monthly period. The people in the villages have no money to buy the necessary facilities for this. Out of shame, hygiene and incomprehension, the girls do not dare to go to school. It also happens that girls no longer go back to school after being at home for a period because they are then deployed at home and thus lose sight of the chance at school and the future. With the purchase of 1 package/bag you make a big difference for these girls so that they can be themselves and continue to follow the normal weekly rhythm. Contents of one package: *1 washcloth * 1 piece of soap * 2 sets of underwear * 4 inserts * 2 Protectors
India is a poor country with a big difference between rich and poor. Street life in India is well known. People begging because they have nothing. By giving a food package you already make a big difference. Then they don't have to go out on the streets to beg and get healthy food, which will also make them physically stronger. One hot meal a week would already make a huge difference, can you help make that happen?
