Needs Funding : Girls Need You

About the Project

About the Project

Copper Lane Hair Studios has partnered with Central Alberta businesses to benefit the Girls Need You project.

With March being host to International Women’s Day, they want to shed some light on the basic needs that girls and women in Kenya are living without.  This project will supply these women with reusable feminine hygiene kits.

The Cause: Providing reusable feminine hygiene kits in Kenya.

The Cost: Each kit costs $10 and includes 2 pairs of underwear. 2 shields (these hold the liners in the underwear), 8 washable liners (“the pads”), soap, washcloth, instructions, and a cloth bag that holds it all.

The Reason: Many girls are forced to miss school on the days of their menstrual cycle because they simply do not have access to the basic needs required to handle their periods. Together, we can change that!

The Effect: By supplying these kits, we will encourage, empower, and show support, giving these girls hope and dignity from across the world. Imagine for a minute how you would feel putting your life, schooling, and work on hold for one week each month. Bonus: In addition to supplying kits, we are also supporting a local female sewing co-operative in Kenya, giving these women employment and fair wages, which helps them provide for their family and community.

Thanks for your time and consideration of bringing this very special cause to the public.
