Thank you for your contributions to Days for Girls Menstrual Equity for Girls in Latin America project through GlobalGiving. With your generous support, we are advancing menstrual equity throughout Latin America.
Many people in New York City have loved ones who live in the Dominican Republic, so the Dominican Republic is dear to the hearts of many members of Days for Girls’ New York City NY Chapter. Last June, the Chapter’s Director of Community Outreach, Hilary, raised money to sponsor the distribution of 200 Kits by Proinfancia, the DfG Enterprise in the Dominican Republic. Wanting to be part of the Kit distribution, she made the trip with her two daughters, Paulina and Lucy.
That three day trip meant so much to Paulina that she wanted to fundraise for 1,000 kits to be made by Proinfancia and fund all the training. She started her fundraiser in September and raised more than enough money for Kit sponsorships!
The New York City Chapter placed the order to Proinfancia for 1,180 Kits and the Enterprise has begun to distribute them alongside Days for Girls menstrual health education. The remainder of the Kits will be made and distributed in the coming months.
We are thrilled that more women and girls in Latin America will now have what they need to manage their menstruation with dignity. Thank you for your part in helping us turn periods into pathways.
