The Challenge We're Addressing
In many communities across Tanzania, girls and women face daily challenges that most of us take for granted. Something as natural as having a period can mean missed school days, lost opportunities, and feelings of shame or exclusion.
Many girls don't have access to basic hygiene products or even undergarments, so their parents keep them home for four to five days each month. The result is devastating: girls fall behind in their studies, lose confidence, and in some cases, drop out of school altogether.
Something as simple as soap and a sanitary product can transform a day—and a life.
We see this gap as more than a problem. For us, it's a chance to make a meaningful difference. dewdreamy made a pledge to support girls and women to feel clean, confident, and cared for.
