Welcome to the March 2021 Newsletter!
We want to begin this newsletter by saying that we hope you and your loved ones are all happy, healthy and safe. It has been an immensely challenging year for everybody, thank you for your continued support.
We have lots of exciting things happening behind the scenes, some of which you will find below and some of which you will find in the next newsletter. Our overall message is... please keep sewing! In months to come your kits will be put to good use. This newsletter is a big one, but we have lots to share with you all! Thank you to all that have contributed.
Thank you again for all of your support, dedication and service.
The newsletter continues here [click here for the link]. It's very interesting but the most exciting bit is one of the case studies . . .
We have had another very exciting distribution through the Wraysbury Stitch group!
After dedicating a portion of their group’s funds, and through some generous donations, the Wraysbury Stitch Group worked with an Enterprise in Kenya to deliver Days for Girls kits and health education to 67 girls.
Wraysbury Stich Group had an ongoing relationship with the Kisumu area of Kenya, and decided that they would send kits to a school sponsored by the Kisumu Children Charity: Tieng’re Primary School. Luckily, there is a Days for Girls Enterprise in Kisumu who were able to support this distribution.
When planning who would deliver the health education, Wraysbury Stich Group consulted with the Kisumu Children Charity. This was the fantastic feedback they received:
"I've had a look at that link and it looks amazing! I know that the school don't deliver anything like that because they don't have that level of material to work with or that level of nursing/OBGYN training. I would say that it really is worth it, not just because of the teaching that it will give to the girls but also because of the teaching it will give to the staff at the school to see what they could teach going forward. You would be doing more than giving the kits, you would be investing in school education for the benefit of the future girls coming through. The effects of that $130 will likely be multiplied many times over!
We are so thankful for the Wraysbury Stich Group for embracing the Impact Zones. Not only have you changed the lives of 67 girls in Tieng’re Primary School, you have also supported the Kisumu Enterprise. Double the impact!
