Subject: This World Menstrual Hygiene Day, Help a Refugee Girl in Kenya
[link removed]

Dear Friend,

Today is World Menstrual Hygiene Day.

The refugee camps in Kenya have been home to over 800,000 refugees from various countries for over three decades. Despite the passage of time, the living conditions remain dire, with little to no hope for the future.

The refugees in these camps have endured unimaginable hardships and continue to face significant challenges daily. These remote and uninhabitable camps have been home to thousands of unaccompanied children.

Over 142,000 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.

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

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 2024, USCRI delivered enough sanitary pads to support nearly 5,000 girls for one year. This year, USCRI plans to be on the ground providing sustainable menstrual hygiene solutions to refugee girls.

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 health services to girls in Kenya’s refugee camps. 100% of funds raised go towards menstrual hygiene products and programs for refugee girls in Kenya.

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

P.S. You can visit our website ([link removed]) to learn more about our delivery of sanitary pads to Kenya’s refugee camps in 2024.
