Dear Friend,

Tomorrow is International Day of the Girl Child.

And to honor this important day, we hope you will take the opportunity to make a difference for some of the tens of thousands of school-aged girls living in refugee camps in Kenya.

According to the United Nations, nearly 1 in 5 girls do not finish basic schooling due to conflict and poverty. For many of the girls living in the refugee camps of Kakuma and Dadaab, access to a simple sanitary pad can be the difference between fulfilling their dreams or dropping out of school.

Your gift today can provide sanitary pads to a girl living in a Kenyan refugee camp for one year.

Earlier this year, I joined USCRI staff in Kenya to deliver over half a million sanitary pads to girls in Kakuma and Dadaab refugee camps through USCRI’s Keep Girls Dreaming campaign. Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, USCRI was able to provide basic menstrual hygiene care to 5,000 girls. I saw firsthand the difference we can make.

But we’ve only made a small dent in answering the call for an estimated 90,000 girls living in refugee camps in Kenya. And the need is urgent and growing.

$36 can provide a refugee girl with sanitary pads for a full year. $108 can triple the impact to support 3 girls over 12 months. ([link removed])

Without sanitary pads and soap, girls often resort to reusing unsanitary pieces of cloth, which leads to infection or worse. Girls are missing weeks of school, and some might drop out altogether.

On this International Day of the Girl Child, could you please join us with an urgent one-time gift to the Keep Girls Dreaming campaign? Every child deserves access to an education and a chance to fulfill their dreams. Together, at this critical moment, we can be the solution.

Thank you for your compassion.

Sincerely,

Victoria Walker
Policy Analyst
