Watoto Read is partnering with Days for Girls to provide 21,000 reusable menstrual hygiene kits to girls in Chadian refugee camps to help them stay in school! Many refugee girls are forced to drop out of
school early because they are not able to care for their physical needs with dignity.
Watoto Read’s mission is to resource and advocate for the education of children
and young adults living in refugee camps in Sub Saharan Africa.

April is National Volunteer Month! Days for Girls is lucky to count 70,000 selfless, passionate volunteers on six continents as part of our global family.

The government shuttered schools very early in the pandemic. With help from Watoto Read to buy hygienic supplies, schools have reopened. qoo.ly/3btduh
