Days For Girls Project at Bless My Stitches
What is Days for Girls?
Every girl in the world deserves education, safety, and dignity. We help girls gain access to quality sustainable feminine hygiene and awareness, by direct distribution of sustainable feminine hygiene kits, by partnering with nonprofits, groups and organizations, by raising awareness, and by helping communities around the world start their own programs. Thanks to a global grassroots network of thousands of volunteers and supporters on 6 continents, we have reached women and girls in 76 countries on 6 continents. It's working. You can help us reach the rest. Go to the website for more info www.daysforgirls.org
Imagine…
What if not having sanitary supplies meant DAYS without school, DAYS without income, DAYS without leaving the house? Girls use leaves, mattress stuffing, newspaper, corn husks, rocks, anything they can find...but still miss up to 2 months of school every year. It turns out this issue is a surprising but instrumental key to social change for women all over the world. The poverty cycle can be broken when girls stay in school.
How can you help?
Join us on 5th Saturday of the month for a day of sewing Days For Girls Kits from 11 - 3, and be part of something that is bigger than yourself. Together we will put together kits. Even if you don't know how to sew (or want to bring someone who doesn't know how to sew) we can still use you, tracing patterns, cutting fabric, ironing are just some of the "non-sewing" assistance we will need.
You can watch the step by step instructional videos on how to make the shields, liners and bags before the sew in. These are great videos and will help you become familiar with assembly. You can also print out your own copy of the step by step instructions. Both the videos and instructions are found on the website, www.daysforgirls.org under the heading "Get Involved" then click "Make Kits".
Bless My Stitches is donating the PUL for inside the moisture barrier shields, twill tape for the bags, snaps for the shield printed templates and patterns.
