Days for Girls



We helped out in a community working bee for an international project called ‘Days for Girls’ to make sanitary supplies for the days of their menstruation. This means for girls that they miss out on school days every month and women can’t go to work and don’t receive an most needed income during this time.

This time it was for women’s and girls in East- Timor which is supported by a local lady. We used our sewing skills to make pads, shields and bags, that involved cutting fabrics, over locking, ‘normal sewing’ and packing ready to go bags.
If you like to find out more about the project go on to their web side
