Women to Women Empowerment Project-Africa
I've created a Womens Project for my African travels. 'SheWings'.
(We are starting from Morocco in December 2017)
My plan has been, to make sanitary pads and provide toolkits for women I meet in rural places as we travel overland.
I'm going to provide a template, scissors, needles, thread and fabric so that where there is a need; I can assist the women in remote places how to make them and provide the tools. Not charity; empowerment.
I have a groundswell of women in Australia who have stepped up to make this project happen and I now have almost have everything I need to take to Africa.
The Articles I have read about Africa have reinforced a great need for women in many parts of Africa. Thousands of young women don't go to school for a week out of every month due to their moon blood and not having enough resources or money to buy pads.
My partner, Allen and I will be travelling in a green GAZ 66, Russian truck and I would love to meet other women along the way who would like to assist with the implementation of these spontaneous 'workshops'. I am also looking for contacts, so any assistance would be appreciated.
