We started Shona Sisterhood after being shocked to learn that schoolgirls around the world who do not have access to feminine hygiene products, or even underwear, must drop out of school for a week per month, meaning that they miss out on three months of education every single year!
This lack of resources also leads to more prominent gender inequality and health problems, as the girls are forced to use items such as leaves and dirty rags to remain clean.
We believe that consistent education is critical to women empowerment, and no one should be set back for any reason - and certainly not because they happen to be female!
We CAN make a difference, and this is how:
Raise funds through donations and fundraising events to send to the Women's Support Group based in the Marondera area of Zimbabwe (about an hour out of Harare).
The Women's Support Group make Reusable Sanitary Pad Kits for the girls at school, which include:
* Six fabric reusable pads
* Three fabric reusable pad holders
* One pair of underwear
* One soap
* One towel
These packs are accepted by the community, are environmentally friendly and importantly, can be washed and reused.
These packs are just $5.00USD each. This is about $6.95AUD for an entire pack!

$2,100.00 will pay for 300 packs, which is roughly the amount of girls of age at Numwa School. We provide the funds to Imire Rhino & Wildlife Conservation Trust who provide same to the Women’s Support Group in Zimbabwe. We have now opened a bank account as we are now a registered charity and will withdraw funds and send monies to Zimbabwe prior to the end of the year!
