In Papua New Guinea one of the biggest obstacles for girls to enjoy an education is unsafe water and poor sanitation at schools. Many girls miss out on schooling when they have their period. Your gift ensures children stay healthier and spend more time in school getting the education they need, giving them a head start in life.
“All the girls are happy when they built our shower room. Because some girls…when they see their periods they leave school, and they don’t come back. Now we will go into this shower room and clean ourselves and come back into the classroom and learn properly.” – Rebecca.
