Put simply…
The challenges of poverty are not always obvious. Teenage girls have a lot to deal with as they grow, and the effects of their monthly period can adversely affect their education.
Often girls in Africa will be forced to miss a week of school every month to cope with the reality of their period.
With this is mind we have launched the Freedom project. Providing packs of reusable sanitary towels, which can last a girl for 2 years as well as raising awareness of serious issues such as HIV and AIDS and sexual exploitation.
This provides freedom for girls to be in school and freedom to maintain, happy, healthy and safe lifestyles.
£5 enables us to supply one pack to a girl for two years freedom.
