Hi BraveHeart Women
I am on a mission to empower, educate, motivate and inspire women and girls. This project aims to assist underprivileged girls gain access to affordable sanitary towels. The project also aims to provide puberty and hygiene education to enhance girl participation in education. lmagine this most girls stay out of school during their menstrual cycle because they cannot afford sanitary pads. Some girls have resorted to using newspapers and rags and in some extreme cases some are using tree bark and mud. Use of these unconventional items such as newspapers, leaves and plant bark exposes women and girls to infections. I am calling out to you all to reach out to these girls by donating a pack of sanitary towels, my dream is to see all girls attend school everyday and reach their potential as the saying goes in Africa "EDUCATE A WOMAN - EDUCATE A NATION". ln most african societies women are the backbone of the family. Let's fight this poverty together and make dreams come alive once again. I would love and appreciate your help in order to make this dream a reality. Regards, Linda.

I have been thinking about organizing an effort to bring the diva cup to underpriveledged women and children., I use it myself. It is a one time cost and resuable. Highly effective, and can last for 12 hours. I wish someone would have told me about it when I was younger. I would participate in and recommend something that was a permanent solution like the diva cup.. there are only two sizes one for pre- birth and post -birth.. Let me know how I could be of assistance.. melanie. |
