Help us Keep Girls Dreaming

[link removed]

Dear Friend,

Today is World Menstrual Hygiene Day.

Over 90,000 school-aged girls are living in refugee camps in Kenya. Their safety and well-being are at risk when they get their period and do not have access to menstrual hygiene products. This impacts every part of their lives, from their health to their ability to attend school.

Poverty, gender inequality, cultural stigmatization, and a lack of basic services all prevent girls from experiencing their menstrual cycles with dignity and safety.

When conflict, climate, or other extraordinary circumstances force people to flee, their access to resources and essential services cease; however, menstruation does not.

USCRI launched the Keep Girls Dreaming initiative in October 2023 to address this need. In just a few months, Keep Girls Dreaming raised enough funds to purchase, deliver, and distribute over half a million sanitary pads to Dadaab and Kakuma refugee camps. In January 2024, USCRI delivered enough sanitary pads to support nearly 5,000 girls for one year.

You can join us in raising awareness about Menstrual Hygiene Day by spreading the word on social media ([link removed]) or by contributing to the Keep Girls Dreaming initiative ([link removed]) that provides vital menstrual hygiene products to girls in Kenya’s refugee camps.

This helps her stay healthy, stay in school, stay dreaming. Period.
