Can you imagine missing school as a young woman because you didn’t have
access to sanitary protection? Girls in Kenya often miss up to five
days of school a month because of their period. (Source: Oxford
University Study, 2010)
For millions of adolescent girls living in underdeveloped countries, sanitary protection is a luxury item. The lack of affordable, sustainable feminine care products can have devastating consequences for these girls, resulting in gaps in their education, and an increased vulnerability to poverty and disease. Huru International, a non-profit organization, in partnership with the o.b. Brand, is helping to raise awareness of this issue and provide the necessary personal care items to help safeguard these young girls’ health, and educate them on important issues like HIV.
Through a viral Facebook campaign – Share-It-Forward – the o.b. Brand will donate up to $25,000 to Huru International.
For every individual who shares the message about Huru International’s cause via the o.b. Outreach tab on Facebook.com/obmightysmall, the o.b. Brand will donate one dollar to Huru International, with a minimum donation of $10,000 and a maximum donation of $25,000. A step-by-step guide to sharing is pasted below.
For every $25 donated, Huru can supply one girl with sanitary protection and other essential items for one year.
