Days of Girls provides girls with a kit of handmade sanitary pads for their menstrual cycle. So far, Days of Girls has provided 640,000 women and girls with access to feminine hygiene products.

Whenever you are sending out your hand-made pieces, consider making a care package with other materials that could be extremely useful to those in need.
