Women To Be hires in-need women to fabricate and distribute 'kits' of underwear, washable sanitary pads, and a s*x education class to girls in Zambia, Nepal, and Mexico. This is certainly the grim reality for women and girls in refugee camps in Nepal where a friend of mine grew up, and where I delivered “kits” containing these items in November, 2014. This year, I’m focusing on the Kingdom of Mustang also in Nepal. My mission is to deliver 1000 “kits” to women and girls who live in this remote Himalayan Shangri La. The Prince of the Kingdom and the Lama of the region are in full support. Women and girls without pads:
Contract chronic infections
Drop out of school 25-30% of the time due to missed time and embarrassment
Marry early and have more children
Are limited every month to work and care for their families
Suffer a lack of human dignity and self respect
My friend told me that most of the time, she simply used and reused rags to help herself. Many have no idea of what to expect in s*xual in*******se and pregnancy. Are you as sad as I am? Help me change this! My mission is to raise money to help these kind and gentle people. I will:
Organize people to sew and fabricate “kits” that contain pads, underwear and cleaning methods. Deliver these kits to the women. They are good for 3 years and there is nothing to throw away. Open up the conversation on s*x, pregnancy, and domestic violence. It’s a lot of work to organize this. What you can do is donate. For $50 you can improve the quality of life for three women for three years. Imagine that! Have you always wanted to make difference in the world? Well, here’s your chance! Sometimes there are powerful freedoms in small things.
