"Days for Girls" Menstrual Kit Making

6/20/2018

1 Comment

 
​One way our club works for the betterment of education for girls is by creating menstrual kits as part of the Days for Girls project.  The kits are a safe, beautiful, washable, long-lasting alternative for girls in developing countries who often miss school when menstruating due to lack of supplies.  Our kits are sent to our sister Soroptimist chapter in Kisumu, Kenya for distribution to students there.  They have expressed tremendous gratitude for our support.  Here are pictures from our June 2 sewing session.  Please consider helping out; see the calendar for our upcoming sewing days!

Hi,
I'm interested in helping with this project. My organization, the Washington State Grange, already has long-running projects in making quilts for veterans, baby blankets for local hospitals, and our youth have developed a Keep Washington Warm project which provides newly made or bought winter clothing to those who need it. I'm already working on getting all 217 of our local chapters working on Free the Girls bra donations, and would really like to include information on Days for Girls when I send out our mailings. I'm sure our group could offer great support. Please contact me at (360) 325-3530 or at [email protected].
Thank you & take care,
Tori
