Kuwaa Mission distributes Days for Girls kits throughout the Kuwaa Chiefdom, providing health education and sustainable feminine hygiene kits for the Kuwaa girls. Several church groups, quilt clubs and sewing groups work to sew and assemble Days for Girls. The girls and women of Kuwaa desperately need a reliable way to deal with their menstrual cycles. Girls use whatever materials they can find, sometimes to resorting to grass and leaves. This often leads to infections. Without a solution, girls often miss school and work activities. Days for Girls increases access to menstrual care and education that shatter stigmas and limitations for women and girls, helping to create, dignity, health, and opportunity for all. Kuwaa Mission has a goal of providing 300 sustainable feminine hygiene kits a year to the girls and women of Kuwaa. Worldwide, Days for Girls has distributed over one million kits in the past 10 years.
