Having had over 1000 sanitary pads donated by Wear em Out we decided that we should take further advantage of this opportunity and run some workshops, talking to the girls about their rights both as children and as girls.

The workshops are aimed at improving awareness on sexual reproductive health, how to avoid early childhood pregnancy and marriage and general menstrual hygiene. The girls will also learn how to report cases of GBV (Gender Based Violence).

We hope this training will increase confidence amongst the girls and give them the confidence to stand up for their own rights.

These schools have no hand washing facilities at all so these will help to stop the spread of all sorts of infections, Covid included.

One of our lovely trustees Yvette did not hesitate to jump in and try and save the day once we had decided to cancel our biggest fundraiser of the year because of Covid 19.

We could not be more delighted to announce that we have been awarded £2,150 by the St James's Place Charitable Foundation.
