Thank you for continuing to support the girls of Makindu. There are currently 292 girls enrolled in available education programs in Makindu. The girls all received the mandatory school uniforms. Without the uniforms, the girls cannot attend school. We were also able to equip girls with sanitary napkins. This is extremely important as it keeps the girls in school. Unfortunately, many girls drop out of school due to the discomfort and embarrassment of menstruation, or the inability to acquire a uniform. Although school was in session for the term between January and March, it was closed down again due to the 3rd wave of COVID-19. School resumed on May 10th and the girls are very happy to be able to see each other again. However, the schools are still unable to enforce important COVID-19 restrictions. They don’t have enough resources for important sanitation standards such as: social distancing, water, soap or sanitizer. We would love to be able to help make this happen for the schools so we can ensure the safety of the girls and support them in their future by getting an education. We wouldn’t be able to do any of this without you. Thank you for giving hope to the children.
