CELEBRATING THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE GIRL CHILD

Today, we shine a light on the incredible potential of girls around the world, especially in countries where they face significant barriers to equality. In Guinea, where literacy and school completion rates are low, we're proud to have created a level playing field where girls can thrive.

🚀By providing period-friendly spaces and reusable menstrual health kits, we've seen girls' grades, attendance, and completion rates soar to match their male peers!

💪 This year, our K**e team has taken their programme to three new communities, empowering 150 young people with 3 days of training in sexual and reproductive health. These Ambassadors will now share their knowledge with their communities, creating a ripple effect of positive change!

To keep this momentum going, we need your support.

A £10 donation can buy a kit for a girl, keep our seamstresses employed, and fund our educational events.
Every contribution counts! Please donate and share with your network to help create a where every girl can rise to her full

EDUCATION DIGITY COMMUNITY
Our kits deliver to more - they benefit those who produce them as well as those who use them.

Every reuseable kit we gift is made in Conakry by our sewing team.

Ruth is our lead - a mother at the school - the regular work helps her educate her son and have a decent monthly income.

Memuna completed her education at CRS two years ago but couldn't find employment. K**e took her on as an apprentice and she can now produce kits herself is responsible for the upkeep of our business data and joins in with education sessions.

£10. One Kit. One Girl. One Step Towards a Brighter Future.
A menstrual kit might seem like a small thing.
But for a girl in Guinea, it can help keep the door to education open.

And education can change everything.

We see this time and time again through our students at CRS.

Hissatou was an FCRS scholar, then a CAST student and later a CAST intern. Through education, she discovered her talent for digital design. She has completed courses with Orange Guinea and worked with other young people to develop digital solutions to local problems.

Today, she is building a career in digital design — through marriage, pregnancy and childbirth.

Her family can see the value of her work. Her income makes a substantial contribution to the household. Education has given Hissatou dignity, options and a brighter future.

That is what we want for every girl.

A menstrual health kit can help a girl stay in school with dignity — rather than missing out simply because she has her period.

So your £10 is not just buying a sustainable, environmentally friendly product.

It isn't simply saving a girl and her family money.

It is helping give her the chance to stay in school.
And that can open the door to a future where she can learn, earn, make choices and build a life of greater independence.
£10. One Kit. One Girl. One Step Towards a Brighter Future.

💛 Will you help us open that door for another girl?

🌟 UNLEASH THE POWER OF CHANGE!
🌟 SHARE OUR STORY WITH THREE FRIENDS AND TRIPLE YOUR IMPACT! 💥

Kiké's journey began two years ago, fueled by the collective power of our community. Last year, together we achieved something remarkable: £10,000 raised to empower women and girls! 🎉

The impact was tangible:
5 women gained a decent wage,
940 young women received reusable kits,
5 menstrual health workshops ignited conversations,
and our team celebrated with a well-deserved day out. 🙌

This month, we took a bold step forward, expanding our reach to three new venues and training 150 young women to become Ambassadors of change. Each one will receive a reusable kit, thanks to your generosity last year! 🎁

These Ambassadors will spread the message of menstrual health, self-respect, and environmental sustainability, inspiring others to join the movement.

£10 may seem like a small amount, but for a girl in Guinea, it can be life-changing: a chance to manage her period with dignity, confidence, and continue her education uninterrupted. 📚

Let's keep the momentum going!
Kiké needs your support to continue providing kits, training, and employment opportunities. Every order, every share, and every donation brings us closer to a brighter future for all. 💪
