Attending school will be much easier for many young women now

Thank you so much to all you wonderful, generous people who bought a period pack for a young woman who attends school in Malawi. We have been blown away by your generosity. We have received enough donations to supply more than 100 hundred young women with 5 reusable sanitary pads, 4 bars of soap, a tub to wash them in, a sealable bag to store them in, and 2 pairs of underwear.

That is enough to give them to every young woman whose education the Trust pays for, and all the residents of the hostel we built in Kochilira village to help young women attend the secondary school there and improve their safety.

The packs will enable the young women to attend school no matter where they are in their cycle – improving their chances of completing their exams and getting the grade they deserve. We are arranging delivery, distribution and explanations of how to use and wash them in the next few weeks.
