Days for Girls: Our Vision

Hygiene solutions are a little thing that becomes a big thing quickly, when millions of women and girls suddenly have what they need to stay in school, pursue opportunity, and succeed.

Days for Girls envisions a world where menstruation is no longer a source of shame and taboo. Through volunteers, through enterprises, and through public and private partnerships, Days for Girls is working to shift how women and girls see themselves and are seen by their communities. We offer girls and women with new life choices and spur narrative change, through providing sustainable hygiene solutions, health education, and income-generation opportunities.

We create washable feminine hygiene kits that contain 2 waterproof shields, 8 flannelette liners, a washcloth, 2 pairs of underwear, a small soap, ziplock plastic bag for washing and pictorial instructions. Kits cost $10 to make with volunteer labour.

There are a lot of things that are hard to change in the world. This isn’t one of them. Join with us, and show what’s possible when we work together on behalf of women and girls.
