Anyone know how to sew reusable pads? Use your skills for good!

Girls and women in developing countries are using tree bark as sanitary napkins in developing countries. Females simply do not have access to adequate menstrual protection, and as a result, most resort to using unhealthy materials to get by. Unfortunately, young girls are absent for 21% of their education due to their periods.

Sister Hope brings women together to empower young girls in the developing world. I'd love to get support from this forum of great women and hope everyone can visit www.sishope.org to learn more and get involved.

Thank you,

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to let you all know that Sister Hope is now sending hygiene kits to girls in Cameroon, West Africa! I recently recieved an urgent request for reusable pads for girls attending school in Oroko, and we need YOUR help to make a difference for these girls, please join us at www.sishope.org.

Thank you,
Sarah diva
