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.

Those in 12th grade are usually preparing to sit for their final high school exams.
However, many students are currently at crossroads because the teachers are on a strike!
