behind the event
Girls are often forced to leave school at the age of 12-13 because their families cannot afford school fees. Often these girls are forced in marriages, or work with no hope of changing their futures, they come from rural areas, and without an Education have little hope. School in the rural areas is often under tree, but when we provide an education the girls get to go to a community school with a quality education.
Meet the girls who’s lives will be forever changed by your contribution and involvement in 8x8 To Educate.
Girls Only Literacy Program
Menstural Health
8×8 provides free reusable sanitary aids to girls in rural communities. To date we have covered over 72,000 periods. Menstrual products are not freely available in these areas and this prevents girls attending school. This program also provides education on the menstrual health, cleanliness, pad care and basic human anatomy.
