> SewGreen is again partnering with students and faculty at Cornell University to make washable feminine hygiene kits for girls and young women in impoverished areas. Days for Girls International (www.daysforgirls.org) distributes the kits worldwide.
>  
> In extremely poor communities where there is no access to commercial products, girls may be shut away for days every month. Each Days for Girls kit contains everything needed to allow a girl to attend school or a job without interruption.
