Review for Days for Girls International , Mt. Vernon, WA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I first found out about Days for Girls while working on a women's empowerment project in Laos. We found a huge need for menstrual health education and access to products. I was able to witness first hand the impact of the DfG kits and education on the lives of the women and girls in our program and also see the inspiring group of local women who led our DfG partnership project shine as local leaders on MHM in their communities! This is what I love about DfG; their focus on quality MH education, washable reusable sanitary pads that last on average 2-3 years and empowering local leadership! The feedback we have received from the Lao women and girls has been incredible. "In the past, we didn't have anything to use when we had our period, sometimes not even underwear. It wasn't comfortable. We couldn't work hard when we had our periods. Now we can carry bamboo, work hard, and go anywhere! We're very happy." Another said "Before, I didn't want to even sit down, but now I can do anything!" and my personal favorite, "I can't wait to have my period now!", showing how DfG Kits and education can break stigmas and help turn menstruation into something positive and natural
for girls and women all over the world!
