Connecting the projects we support is always a thrill. Two of the staff from the WRAPS (washable reusable affordable pads) factory came to provide education to the Mothers Groups and their daughters in Girls Gotta Run about the menstrual cycle, how to care for reusable pads, what is healthy and what needs medical attention and how to protect yourself against sexual assault. Helmy and Shelley observed the session and were so impressed to see how the women and girls were taking in the information.
The value of education can never be overstated. Helmy and Shelley were touched when one of the women talked about how she and some other women stood up against a man who touched a young girl inappropriately. She told the other mothers they needed to be aware of the safety of all girls in their communities and to protect them. Mothers coming together to form a supportive community … we love it!!
