The greatest preventable loss of human potential in the world
More than 20 million girls in the developing world drop out of school every year because they cannot manage their period. UNICEF says it might be as many as 50 million.
Save a Girl™ provides adolescent girls with washable, reusable cloth sanitary kits to help them manage their period so they can stay in school. A kit costs $7 to make, but is free to the girl. It lasts for 3-5 years. Keeping an adolescent girl in school for $2 per year might be the highest return on human investment in the world.
TGUP has made and donated 103,752 Save a Girl™ (SaG) kits to girls in eleven developing world countries.
These are their stories. Click into any image below to hear, in their words, what the SaG kit means to them.
