Eradicating Period Poverty
Aaliyah is off to a great start in leading her 2021 seeded project of eradicating period poverty from Korogocho.
Aaliyah is seeding and leading a campaign to eradicate period poverty from Korogocho, a large slum in Nairobi where we have a school.
Through her role as a Board Member with NOW (New Opportunities for the World), Aaliyah is seeding and leading this project for 2021.
Aaliyah has created a job for one lady and is on the way to her first 1000 sanitary pad packs for girls in our community. The intention is to keep girls in school even when they have their period.
A share can be equally as beneficial to creating awareness as a donation and Aaliyah would be so grateful to get the word spread as far and wide as possible.

First Fundraiser
A wonderful celebration of the feminine with my first fundraiser to Eradicate Period Poverty from our community in Korogocho.
As I spoke about how girls experiencing period poverty in Kenya could've easily have been me and how by virtue of my life in Australia I'm now in a position to help girls in Kenya.
Many people put so much love into making this event a success for me and I am super grateful to all who came.
Little Lunch - 1
The first Little Lunch was a great success. Emily prepared a delicious brunch including her homemade jams. After I presented, some ladies said they wished they had come along with their daughters and mothers.... there is always next time.
Little Lunch - 2
More like a Little After Work wine and cheese, we are loving the way everyone has their own the on the Little Lunch concept. Money raised from the first Little Lunch event has already gone towards opening the project in our second school. We have purchased another sewing machine and everything required to start making 100 sustainable sanitary packs that will assist girls in the Masai Community.

Such an awesome Little Lunch held today to raise awareness for my project to eradicate period poverty in Kenya.

A huge thankyou to Candace Page for arranging this event.

sanitary items
Do you know what these are?
They are eco friendly washable cloth sanitary towels.
Do you know what they will do?
Provide hundreds if not thousands of girls in our community with hygienic menstrual products.
Do you know what that means?
Firstly that Aaliyah has found a way to give back to our community and secondly that girls will be granted respect, dignity and will not miss a day of school due to period poverty.
Because when you educate a girl you change the whole community.
