We distribute clothing and reusable sanitary pads to girls in the community and to women in prison.
A girl who misses school every month because she has no pads is not lazy. She is failed. We distribute reusable sanitary pads on a monthly rhythm to little girls, to ladies in the community, and to women in prison. Shoes, clothing and soap go out with the same quiet regularity as food — because dignity is washed, worn, and walked in. On shoe day at Mercy School the girls hold up new black pairs on the porch. A child who walked in barefoot leaves with something that will still be on her feet in July.
