Days for Girls

Days for Girls International, a global movement turning periods into pathways for education, health, and dignity.

Around the world, millions of girls miss school each month simply because they don’t have access to basic menstrual care. Days for Girls is changing that — one kit, one girl, and one community at a time. They provide sustainable, reusable menstrual kits and life-changing health education, ensuring that girls can stay in school and thrive with confidence.

To date, Days for Girls has reached more than 3 million women and girls in over 145 countries, creating ripple effects of empowerment, education, and opportunity.

Days for Girls' mission is simple and powerful: “Every girl. Everywhere. Period.”

This ties into all the the areas of focus for Rotary.

  • Eliminating trash is better for the environment.
  • Using washable materials means better sanitation and hygiene.
  • It supports women and children and increases literacy and education — because girls can stay in school instead of missing class when they don’t have menstrual protection.
  • Educated women help economies thrive.
  • And where there’s more equality, there’s more peace.

It’s all connected!
