Sewing for charity: sewing reusable menstrual pads for people experiencing period poverty around the world

This is a zero-commitment opportunity for anyone with some spare time and access to a sewing machine. Instructions and templates are provided. Pads are sent to HQ and you'll receive email updates on where the pads are going. There are quarterly newsletters with all the project updates. There is a lively and supportive Facebook Group for tips and support. The pads are easy to sew and fabric can be supplied on request. Your pads will keep girls in school and restore dignity for everyone who receives them.
