More than 20 million girls drop out of school every year because they can't manage their period. It is probably the greatest preventable loss of human potential in the world.

Without shoes, children are especially vulnerable to diseases and parasites. These 'Shoes that Grow' can expand through 5 sizes and keep children healthy, allow them to go to school, and only cost $25 per pair. Most of the children at Nkono Primary do not have shoes so this project will fund 300 pairs of shoes.
