Keep Girls in School
A Days for Girls kit can keep a girl in school. When a girl is able to stay in school, her risks of sexual exploitation, child marriage, teen pregnancy, and death during childbirth go down. Her lifetime income potential rises, not just for her but for her children too.
What’s in a kit? A drawstring bag; eight washable, soft, flannel liners; two moisture-barrier shields that snap to panties; two pairs of underpants (which many girls don’t have); a washcloth; a small bar of soap; and two gallon-size Ziploc® freezer bags to transport soiled items, as well as to wash items in a small amount of soap and water.
A Days for Girls kit is washable and reusable. With proper care, it can last up to three years. Days for Girls kits are now in use by over 300,000 girls in more than 100 countries. Our goal is to distribute 1,000 kits to girls in Sierra Leone in the next two years. We purchase kits from Uman Tok, a Days for Girls enterprise that sews kits and prepares women to distribute kits and provide sexual and reproductive health education.

A ten-dollar donation will give a girl a Days for Girls kit, reproductive health knowledge she would not otherwise have and, something just as important–confidence, dignity, and hope for her future. You’ll also put a smile on her face. Why not get five smiles?
