One By One has launched the Dignity Project, a cause dedicated to fight human trafficking, sexual abuse and provide sanitary items for vulnerable women.
Many girls in Kenya miss a week of school every month as, due to poverty, they don't have access to sanitary products. Our aim is to give every girl a hygiene pack containing brand new underwear and four reusable sanitary pads. This means they can stay in school and receive a good education.
We also want to empower girls to say no to sex. Tragically some girls still think they have to give their body to anyone who demands it, whether it be their father, an uncle, a school teacher or anyone in authority. We want to empower the girls to know that their virginity is their own, that they have the right to say no. We have partnered with local police to ensure the girls are protected in their decision to say no to sex.
Human trafficking is all too frequent in parts of Africa. We are delivering training sessions to raise awareness and put safeguards in place to protect the vulnerable and needy.
Our heart is simply to give girls their dignity back. Please help us. A donation of £5 can buy a hygiene pack for a girl, the more you can give, the more girls we can rescue.
