We supported part of a multiphase pilot program run by our partner Days for Girls. In Malawi, girls who can't afford products to manage their menstrual hygiene tend to skip school. To restore dignity and proper hygiene, we distributed menstrual hygiene packs to over 1,300 impoverished girls.

Promoting menstrual hygiene management remains crucial to guarantee women and girls life opportunities, but most importantly, to safeguard their dignity.

In Project 30 - Empowering Women with Bright Futures, we have the opportunity to supply Smart Starter Pods to over 1,300 girls in Malawi. The sustainable pad kits include 2 shields, 4 liners, a transport bag, soap bar, underwear, a care + usage guide.

Lack of personal hygiene products for girls and young women has a significant impact on their futures and even their communities. Our partner Days for Girls is actively engaging within developing countries to answer the need for such products to empower young women with brighter futures.

These sustainable kits are part of a multiphase pilot program for Days for Girls that will scale the implementation and expansion of further programs across Malawi to address these ongoing issues.
