The poverty cycle can be broken when girls stay in school. An innovative solution has proven to be key: sustainable menstrual health she can count on. With it, she can avoid infection, shame, exploitation, early marriage, and even trafficking. Your support of this project provides girls quality washable sanitary pads and important reproductive health, hygiene, self-defense and sewing training. Girls, families and communities are empowered as leaders and sewing cooperatives gain income and skill.

Days for Girls (DfG) Lebanon is bringing locally made, washable menstrual Kits and health education to women.

Days for Girls (DfG) empowers social enterprise leaders across Latin America in their community outreach to women & girls with DfG menstrual pads and health education. Local leaders are best positioned to break through cultural stigmas associated with menstruation. We're pleased to expand our outreach beyond Guatemala to include Haiti, the Dominican Republic (DR), Costa Rica, and Ecuador. Together, let's promote menstrual dignity to unleash their unlimited potential in this life-changing work!

Women refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) around the world have multiple humanitarian needs; among them are the challenges of managing menstruation safely, privately and with dignity. Days for Girls (DfG) meets the needs of displaced people who menstruate by providing washable, long-lasting menstrual Kits and vital health education. Prioritizing areas with the highest need, our refugee outreach began in Uganda, expanded into Lebanon and Chad, and now also includes Jordan.

In remote hills of western Nepal, girls are often isolated in cattle sheds or small huts each month during their periods, as part of a cultural practice called chhaupadi. Not only do girls face embarrassment over menstruation, but they often are exposed to real danger -- from extreme weather, smoke inhalation and attacks. Days for Girls is changing that narrative from one of shame to celebration. A local training team of Nepali girls and women are leading the charge.
