This Christmas we are again offering you the chance to ‘gift’ reusable period packs for a young woman to stay in Malawi. We really can’t overstate how popular this simple gift is with the young women who receive them – or the impact they are having. Last year, with your help, we were able to give packs to 625 young women at 6 schools.
We know we have done it before, but it really is hard to find a better gift. Headteachers of schools whose female students have received them, tell us how much attendance (and grades) have improved. And the young women who have received them tell us they are life-changing – “my grades are up because I’m no longer missing school”, and “I feel so much more confident now”.
Help us provide this gift to more young women next year. Your gift of £12 will buy a female school student 5 reusable sanitary pads, 4 bars of soap, a tub to wash them in, a sealable bag to store them in, and 3 pairs of underwear.
You can ‘buy a pack’ through justgiving.com and download a gift certificate to put under the tree.
