The Days for Girls
Mackay Team celebrated its 6th Anniversary last Saturday, 4th
November, with a lovely Morning Tea, at the Mystic Alchemy Coffee Shop, attended by most of the Days for Girls
volunteers.
Days for
Girls Mackay consists of a team of dedicated volunteers who produce washable
reusable sanitary packs for women in developing countries, where many have no
means of managing their menstrual periods.
These kits
allow young girls to attend school and women to go about their daily lives. The
kits empower, and are a great stigma eraser, for women who would otherwise be
isolated while menstruating.
Days for
Girls' aim is to afford all women the dignity, health and opportunity they
deserve.
Days for
Girls Mackay has been able to supply
sanitary kits to countries such as The Solomon Islands, Fiji, Vanuatu,
Cambodia, Nepal, Timor Leste, Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka and Vietnam.
It is
estimated that the team, by way of the kits the volunteers have produced and
supplied, have allowed girls in developing countries 838,927 extra school days over its six years
of operation.
