Sewpportive Friends

To teach girls and women in impoverished, rural communities in africa and other areas, how to sew healthy, washable, reusable feminine pads. Many families do not have money or access to affordable feminine hygiene products. We provide fabric, all the needed sewing supplies, and in some cases sewing machines. We also deliver washable sanitary pad kits that are produced in the usa by volunteers. Providing the sewing skill and reusable pads, allows the girls to continue their education without disruption and participate in activities. Women will be able to continue their daily life with healthy feminine protection; work, home, family responsibilities, church, etc. We continue to work with local african vendors and volunteers, and grow our sewpportive friends team members.
