introductory video
"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 grassroot network of thousands of volunteers and supporters on 6 continents, we have reached women and girls in 85+ countries on 6 continents." (daysforgirls.org)
If you know of individuals or groups looking for great service project, this is a fantastic one. We've participated in a number of community and church-sponsored events for Days for Girls, including one just this week.
In this video Celeste Mergens, founder of Days for Girls, tells about the "ah-ha" moment that led to this movement. Celeste came to the kickoff event a year or so ago when some of our local congregations became involved. She is inspirational. She is making a difference.
another wonderful overview
