Global PerioD Festival

Women everywhere are thrilled to receive the "Kits."  Inside hand-sewn bags are menstrual pads with protective shields that can be washed and reused for up to three years.

Where women stayed home and used pieces of towels or rags during menstruation, or paid a day's earnings for a box of disposable pads, these Kits are an answer to their prayers.

Midwives especially love the Kits because they enable increased cleanliness and prevent vaginal infections. 

Many volunteers in SW Florida sew the Kits.  Here are the Chapel Sew and Sews and the Pelican Preserve Sewers (almost 100 women there!).  Thank you so much for your time and generous donations over the years.
