This past February, 197 young girls living in 410 Bridge communities, received a years supply of sanitary towels. Many female students living in developing nations cannot afford the proper supplies needed to control their monthly menstrual cycle which frequently keeps them from attending school to avoid shame and embarrassment. Through our Freedom For Girls program, female students are supplied with the hygiene products they need and are empowered, through sponsorship, to continue their education! This is the distribution in the community of Ndibai.
Learnings From Kiu, Kenya
Our partnership with Kiu community started way back in 2009 making it one of the first communities to partner with the 410 Bridge since its inception in Kenya in 2006.
At the 410 Bridge, we work through the community leaders who ensure continuity of the community’s development even after graduation. During our partnership journey, we walk alongside indigenous community leaders and church leaders as they mobilize and unify the community to participate in their own development – shifting their perspectives and owning the solutions.
