“We can all help someone somewhere and we are positively resourcing women and girls.”
These words from local wahine Taylor Hill, who has launched a Days For Girls group in Southland, with the backing of Nga Kete Matauranga Pounamu Charitable Trust, to provide women’s hygiene products to those in need.
Days For Girls is a network of thousands of volunteers across the world who provide reusable menstrual kits, education, awareness, and dignity to women and girls in need. Its website says it was started in 2008 in Nairobi when founder and CEO Celeste Mergens learnt that girls were missing school, sometimes going without food, and sitting on cardboard for several days each month.
