As we celebrate International Women’s Day, we wanted to send our gratitude to you, our supporters! Your donation allows Project Soar to tackle period poverty and distribute shame-free, eco-friendly period supplies to girls throughout Morocco and Uganda.These products are essential in helping teen girls feel comfortable and confident in their bodies. Afterall, periods are nothing to be ashamed about, and they shouldn’t prevent girls from leading full lives! Having access to period products helps keep girls in school, and reduces the risk of child marriage and teen pregnancy.
In other good news, our period poverty campaign is currently in the running for GlobalGiving’s Girl Fund -- a six day campaign that will unlock thousands of corporate dollars for its top contenders. Winners are judged by the number of unique donors during these 6 days. Right now we are in 11th place! As you celebrate International Women’s Day today, we would be so grateful if you shared our period poverty campaign with your family and friends. It only takes $12 to sponsor a girl! With your support, we would love to help many more girls!
Stay tuned for more news from Project Soar. And never doubt that you are making a difference!
With gratitude,
Maryam and the Project Soar Team
