Programme for Children has been raising awareness and making important connections to help make menstruation kits available to women and girls who were affected by the August flooding in Freetown. So far, they have connected with the Freetown Mayor’s office, Freetown City Council, the US Embassy, the British High Commission, and many local and international organizations who are all excited about the kits and the prospect of working together to get them into the hands of women and girls across Sierra Leone. In September, our team did the first distribution of 540 kits to women and girls in 10 communities who experienced the worst of the Freetown flooding. Additionally, PFC has completed the renovation of the garage underneath the office to be used for sewing menstruation kits and storing supplies. This new larger space will significantly increase our team’s capacity to produce and distribute kits on a larger scale.

Kambawama Junior Secondary School held its official opening ceremony on September 30.Students in this community can now continue their education past primary school within the safety of their communities. We are forever grateful to the students in the 2019 Social Justice Through Philanthropy class and the Philanthropy Lab Ambassadors for making this new junior secondary school possible. Because of this school, students will be able to continue their education rather than needing to walk to the nearest town 8 miles away to stay in school. Having a school in close proximity to students’ homes will also improve student safety and reduce the chances of teenage pregnancy because students can stay in school longer while staying in the safety of their communities.
