"The Eve Project"

Recently, I’ve been working on a campaign called “The Eve Project”. Please read below for more information.

The prevention ministries at Living Hope include girls’ clubs that are led by trained life skills educators. These educators have identified a need in their communities for feminine hygiene products. Many families cannot afford to buy these products. Without feminine protection, many young women do not attend school during their menstrual cycle. This results in the young women missing up to five days of school every month (and ultimately some drop out of school). There is a great need for a consistent supply of products to be distributed within communities. Having access to such products will ensure that the young women can attend school regularly and obtain the education that is so important for their future.

The aim of “The Eve Project” campaign is to partner with churches internationally to raise financial support, and to team up with local churches, schools and organizations to provide feminine hygiene products. We’re asking that when women buy a package of feminine products for their own use, that they purchase a second package for Living Hope’s “Eve Project”. All donations will be collected on a monthly basis and delivered to those in need.

Please feel free to email me if you have any questions or would like to get involved with “The Eve Project”.
