Dear Friend,

Nothing could have prepared me for the dark reality I encountered during my visit to Kakuma Refugee Camp earlier this year.  I witnessed such hardship — haunting reminders of the world’s failure to protect refugee girls by providing access to sanitary pads. I’ve seen Americans come to the aid of refugees before, and I’m asking you once again, to ease the burden ([link removed]) that menstruation places on girls whose best hope is to stay in school.

Conditions in the camp have only worsened since my last visit. The girls’ menstrual needs continue to be unmet as drastic cuts to U.S. humanitarian aid push the camp to its breaking point. Without sanitary pads, these girls face serious health risks, discomfort, and psychological stress. When girls can manage their periods safely, these risks and indignities decrease.  

This November, I’ll return to Kakuma with another delivery of sanitary pads. Our goal is to provide one million pads, but we’re short of the funds needed to give about 9,500 girls the supplies they need. Your gift today will directly fund the purchase and delivery of these essentials. ([link removed])   

No girl should be forced to choose between her health and her future. Please donate now to keep girls in school and dreaming. ([link removed])

P.S. I look forward to updating you on our visit to Kakuma later this year. I hope with your gift we can provide support to thousands of girls who need access to safe and sanitary menstrual pads.
