Menstruation Pad Support in Kanchenjunga, Nepal

Whiteley Village races · 9 June 2019
Early this year the three of us trekked for three weeks in Nepal with the Himalayan trust in the Kanchenjunga region. The Himalayan Trust UK are working to boost the livelihoods of this area and promoting quality education in Taplejung with teacher training. Whilst walking through the extreme rural areas in the high altitudes it really showed how help is needed and without the help of the Himalayan Trust the Nepali Government aren’t doing enough to those who really need it. A new initiative is working on helping women and girls with menstruation. The three of us are funding a project to help with the Menstruation Pad support. In this area girls face numerous difficulties during their menstrual cycle and currently there is no specific policy to resolve this issue.;
Therefore with your help we can educate around 200 girls about their menstrual cycle, increase school attendance during their period and distribute pads to these young girls.
To help with this fundraising the three of us are doing a 10k run on the Sunday 9th of June. So please if you can donate some money following this link, it’s for such a good cause and will directly help so many young girls.
