Kenyan girls need help

Permaculture People Care: Please join me in helping these young women in Kenyan villages

Did you know that 1 million girls in Kenya miss up to a week of school each month because they have no means to manage their period? Many girls and young women find themselves in so much hardship, and compromised situations, just to access pads. 

Please join me in helping vulnerable girls: permaculture people care in action

Jenipher Nyangah is a compassionate and committed permaculture activist in Kenya who is hand-sewing durable, washable kits from fabric offcuts and delivering them to vulnerable girls in village schools around her region – providing them with basic hygiene and human rights education.  Jenipher also values that this is helping to use reclaimed and re-usable materials and that plastic sanitary pads are not polluting the environment. 

I just started a GoFundMe campaign to support Jenipher – she is a local woman dedicated to helping girls in her region. Jenipher not only sews the pads and travels around to schools to give the kits out for free to the girls, she teaches them about their bodies, about their rights and how to protect and respect themselves and stay healthy.

Please support generously. Everything will be going to help more vulnerable girls in rural Kenyan villages.  All funds go to help her get more treadle sewing machines and fabric, so she can also teach more women to sew sanitary kits and teach girls, and she can reach and help more girls.

    What great work, so goid to see this is happening at a local level.
    There is a world wide organisation called “Days for Girls ” they do the sewing of these kits and there are sometimes a group in your local area that you can join to help out, donate or support in some way.They also provide soap and cliplock bags so the washing only uses a tiny amount of precious water.
    Such a life changing helping hand for these girls.
