Help us sew washable sanitary pads for vulnerable women and girls in Central and Eastern Africa
We supply reusable pads to impoverished women and girls in Central and Eastern Africa. Most of these women and girls have suffered violence and abuse. You can help us when you make our easy to make washable sanitary pads. We provide an instruction guide with pattern and you supply the rest.
After completing the pads, you will send them to Rose Academies in California where we bring and distribute when we travel to Africa. As we are a 501(c)3 charitable organization, your donation is tax deductible. Thank you in advance for your contribution and helping make life better for these vulnerable and oppressed women and girls.
