Project Report | Mar 8, 2019
Girl Fund Donations Matched Today on Women's Day

By Ina & Esu and the BARKA project team | Co-Founders

Happy Women's Day!

In honor of the International Day of Women (a day when men in Burkina Faso will go to the market, buy groceries and cook food for the family),

GLOBALGIVING WILL MATCH YOUR DONATION TO BARKA'S GIRL FUND CAMPAIGN

STARTING RIGHT NOW AND UNTIL MATCHING FUNDS ARE GONE!

Help us to end "period poverty" and replace it with menstrual equity in Burkina Faso, where most girls never know about their period until it occurs, and oftentimes it can mean the end of an education.

The 4 projects of the Girl Fund campaign with the highest number of donations from unique donors will win.

Donate just $10 today and help us be among the winners.

This project is receiving technical support from:

  • UNICEF
  • Wateraid
  • Burkina Faso government's Ministry of Women

Impact: To support and increase awareness of MHM for 5000 girls, boys, teachers and parents at Fada N'Gourma's largest high schools, and to construct MHM cabins to address girls' menstrual needs.

JUST RELEASED/NEVER BEFORE SEEN: Today we release a new 3-minute video that brings you into the classroom to see the girls you are directly affecting with your donation. This footage was shot just last week.
