One out of ten girls in Sub-Sahara Africa miss 1/4 of school days or drop out completely due to menstrual products being unavailable or unaffordable. These Girls are much more likely to marry early and contract AIDS, thus continuing the cycle of poverty. While on their period these girls will sit at home, on a mattress or straw for an entire week while school slips by. Most of them do not have underwear. Malawian schools do not have enough resources to send schoolwork home with these girls. Thus these girls fall further and further behind. Africa Bags goals are to provide schoolgirls with pad kits and underwear to empower them to stay in school. Buy a pad kit today and help girls stay in school!
