Today was one of the most significant day in the history of Days for Girls in Kenya. All the Enterprises converged in Bomet county-Kenya led by our very own Founder/CEO of Days for Girls Celeste Mergens to launch the Red Line Campaign in Cheboingon'g Primary school and Bomet township primary school.
In Bomet county is where dear Jacqueline 11years old girl committed suicide because of the Shame she experienced after her menses began and she soiled her dress while in class, her classmates laughed at her and she was so embarrassed. She went home and the mother told her to go clean herself and she would tell her more about what's happening. It's so unfortunate after she went to clean herself in the river she was found dead, hanged herself. So sad.
Today Jacqueline Mother joined us in the campaign and this was her words.( " I am here to create awareness and encourage parents to be close to their children and be supportive to them, my daughter should be the last girl to take her life because of the Shame of Menstruation. I commit to continue helping girls, boys,men and women about this subject on Menstruation and let them know it's a natural blessings and we should all embrace it.")
The first lady of Bomet county met with our CEO yesterday and other DFG leaders and she committed to be in forefront to be an Ambassador of Menstrual hygiene management.

WILL YOU JOIN US?
GREAT FABRIC SWAP
The Springfield Library is just diagonally across the street from Our Sewing Room's back alley--upstairs in the City Hall building. On Saturday, they are having a fabric exchange.
Just a heads up, in case you have fabric you no longer want and that wouldn't be great for our Days for Girls use. You can take it in to the circulation desk in advance. Some of you might want to check it out Saturday to see what they have that we can use for our kit components. It's free, and if there are leftover pieces that would work well for DFG, I get to grab them before they are donated to St. Vinnie's. But it's all free so presumably, earlier is better to check it out.
Got fabric?
Want different fabric?
Have we got the perfect program for you!
Please join us from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday, March 7, 2020 for “The Great Fabric Swap,” at the Springfield Public Library in the Library Meeting Room.
Bring your clean fabric to the event to trade for different fabric.
Donations of clean fabric will be accepted in advance at the front desk of the Springfield Public Library.
Don’t have fabric to trade?
That’s okay, you’re still welcome to attend and take home fabric.
This program is free and open to the public.
