13,500 Girls Are Waiting —You Can Help

They’re waiting for…

…the pads and education that would let them stay in school.

…the program that would breakdown long-held stigmas and misinformation within their communities.

…the chance to learn without shame and dream without limits.

The work is ready to begin.

Through a ground-breaking collaboration with USAID, UNICEF Kenya, and Huru, 13,500 girls from impoverished communities were promised Huru Kits: reusable sanitary pads, underwear, and essential menstrual health education.

Unfortunately, U.S. government funding priorities recently shifted, and this vital program approved in December 2024 was left unfunded.
