Empowering girls
PROJECT G, as in G for Girls!! This project is focused on bringing women’s health education and sustainable menstrual hygiene solutions to girls in rural Cambodia.
Why?
Around the world, girls and women resort to using rags, mattress stuffing, banana leaves, feathers, and even cow dung to manage their menstruation. Without basic hygiene education and sanitation, rural girls often miss many days of school, ultimately dropping out.
How?
Since 2018, we have been partnering with Days for Girls, we provide vital health education, along with washable, long-lasting menstrual hygiene Kits.
The Project G team are qualified Days for Girls educators and we are endorsed by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport to bring this empowering program to rural Cambodia.
The menstrual Kits are sewn by a team of 5 professional seamstresses at our sewing workshop in Siem Reap. They are empowered to become a pillar of their families and an inspiration to their children. We are the only Gold Standard Days for Girls enterprise in Cambodia.
Impact
Since 2018, we have sewn and distributed over 30,000 Kits to girls all over Cambodia and educated over 36,000 high school students.
