MUST HAVE – MUST DO
Our call for action: Distributing sanitary pads to schoolgirls so they wonΒ΄t miss school days. Sometimes there is no money for period products, sometimes there is no access to sanitary pads and sometimes there is a big discomfort of using the wrong productsβ¦..so at the end of the day a lot of girls are rather staying home, then feeling uncomfortable the whole day at school. the talented tailor, who did our sanitary pads production and a big thanks to Rose for the communication and the excellent cooperation. 
*we just love it*
