Celebrate with us. We will be meeting this week on Tuesday and Thursday. Come join us

Happy International Women’s Day!

This past week, we shared stories from leaders across our movement:
- A college advocate who turned a moment of crisis into lasting change.
- Volunteers and educators bringing menstrual health education to their communities.
- Students finding the confidence to speak openly about their periods.

Meaningful change often begins with one person choosing to take action.

Revisit the inspiring stories we highlighted this week: https://www.daysforgirls.org/blog/

Today, we celebrate every woman helping move this mission forward!

What begins with a needle and thread can reach far beyond a sewing table.

When Alison Gershman first joined a Days for Girls sewing day, she learned that many girls and women around the world lack access to menstrual products. What began as curiosity soon became commitment.

Today, her volunteer work supports Days for Girls efforts reaching communities from Pennsylvania to Kenya, Ecuador, and Cuba.

This International Women’s Day, we are celebrating women whose skills, compassion, and leadership help expand menstrual health education and access around the world.

✨ A Story of Compassion, Courage & Community ✨

In Minneapolis, a 12-year-old girl experienced something many of us take for granted — the first day of her period. But because her family has been hiding inside, afraid to go out due to ongoing ICE enforcement in their neighborhood, even the simple act of getting a menstrual pad became something frightening and difficult. 

Her single father, terrified of what might happen if she went outside, did something brave: he reached out to his pastor for help — and there was no shame, no stigma. 

What followed was a beautiful example of community care:
🙏 A pastor coordinated with neighbors
🤝 Volunteers watched the streets so it was safe to move
🚗 A U.S. citizen neighbor and others carefully brought the supplies
💗 And a network of people came together to make sure this young girl was supported and cared for. 

As one of the community leaders said, “These things that we take for granted…you have to think about all these additional ways to provide support and care.” 

This wasn’t just delivering menstrual pads — it was delivering dignity, humanity, and love when fear had tried to make ordinary life unbearable.

Let’s celebrate and share the strength of communities who step up and look out for each other — especially when so many are living in fear. 💪❤️

🌎 One of Our Proudest Accomplishments of 2025 🌎

🇨🇺 Cuba

In 2025, Days for Girls Eagleville supported the distribution of 500 reusable menstrual kits to hospitals, maternity wards, and schools in Holguín, in partnership with the Cuban Ministry of Health.

Even more powerful: this work built lasting sustainability. 2,322 additional kits are already coordinated for shipment in April 2026, with Ministry of Health staff being trained in Spanish as Ambassadors of Women’s Health to ensure education continues long after distribution.

✨ 500 kits in 2025
✨ 2,322 kits ready for 2026
✨ Education embedded in healthcare

This is what long-term impact looks like. 💙

A huge thank you to PfizerCollegeville for an amazing and successful event yesterday! Your generosity helped us raise vital funds and collect much-needed items—panties, underpants, and accessories—that will go directly into assembling kit components.

Because of your support, we are one step closer to our goal of distributing 2,600 Days for Girls International Kits in Holguín, Cuba.
Your partnership is helping change lives and ensure menstrual equity for girls and women who need it most.

We are truly grateful. 💛🙏✨
