Featured campaign

Help us pad a girl child in need.

While menstruation is a way of life, many girls still lack access to menstrual hygiene products — directly impacting their health and their education. Many miss at least four days of school every month. A donated pad keeps a girl in class.

Who we are

A lean team, so funds reach the children

Our board of trustees — drawn from law and policy, finance, education, social work, media and ICT — keeps oversight tight and overheads minimal, so partners’ funds benefit beneficiaries the most.
