By providing equal access to sanitary products & menstrual education it can directly improve lives of girls, women & all menstruators.
Facts (according to WHO):
1. If girls receive 7 full years of education they will marry avg 4 years later
2. They will have 2.2 fewer children
3. If they attend 1 extra year of secondary education then average salary can increase upto 25%
4. This can raise average country GDP by billions of dollars (Global Partnership)
5. If India enrolled just 1 % more girls in school, its GDP would increase by 5.5 billion dollars(USAID)
Educating women has direct impact on individual, communities and nations!
So, watch this short film with all your family and friends and help us raise more awareness. The money raised will go directly to the Pad Project team for them to use for projects they do all over the world.
