What is extremely interesting in this report is the way that DfG is not only addressing the menstrual health of women in countries where the concerns are prevalent but the DfG initiative is also creating a sense of independence and sustainability through their Micro-Enterprise alternative. We are certainly proud to be a part of this journey! Please take the time to read all about it at the link above.
Also tune in to the Ted Talk by Celeste Mergens, the founder of Days for Girls....
