days for girls

Help us ring in International Women's Day with our first ever Days for Girls event. We'll be creating re-usable sanitary kits to help girls around the world manage their periods.

The event will be on March 7 from 5-7pm at the Apple Valley Senior Center.

Why does this matter? The kits we make “have become a stigma eraser, a confidence builder, and a girl-power enabler.” A study in Bangladesh showed that 40% of girls reported missing at least one day of school a month due to menstruation. Days for Girls Kits build confidence and serve as a gateway to open vital conversations around health, safety, and leadership.

Details are still being determined, but add this to your calendar, now!
