If as a business or organisation you’re serious about making a significant difference to girls and womens’ lives, then we believe we have a compelling proposition for you. Through our work girls can access education every day and women can become financially independent.
We’re a small charity but we make a big impact, very cost effectively, in the communities that we work. This combined with the fact that 100% of donations goes directly to the work we do, means that you know your support is not being used to cover administration costs but is actually making a real difference.
What your support will do
Your financial support will be hugely beneficial to us: regular donations, which are vital, will give us finance to seed fund small pad making community projects so we can then give period pads to schoolgirls in need, for free.
Corporate and Employee Engagement
If you partner with us we’ll want to build a close relationship with you, keep you updated on all our developments and involve you in the work we do. This is true for both here in the UK as we raise funds and awareness for our charity and also in Kenya as we deliver our services. This could include promoting your business across our social media platforms and marketing activities and also welcoming your employees to help us improve our operations. We’re always on the lookout for great ideas.
Our Partners in Kenya
Busia and Kakamega Women’s Groups are two groups of local women who make and deliver pads in very poor rural communities of Kenya. Working with our partner Simon Achieno, he has been able to buy sewing machines and fabric, and supervise the training of women in pattern cutting and sewing skills, and they have personally delivered the pads to year groups of schoolgirls. We are so pleased to have been working with Simon and his teams of volunteer women for a number of years and they are doing really great work in their local communities.
Agatha Amani House is a grass roots safe home for women who are victims of sexual and domestic violence and abuse. It is the first safe home of its kind in Kenya where women and their children can not only find immediate safety from an abusive situation but can stay for a longer period of time to learn new skills that will enable them to find jobs and become independent. POP is delighted to partner with AAH to establish a pads programme where women residents have been trained in sewing skills and making pads, thus empowering them with life skills. These have then been distributed to local girls enabling them to stay in school.
Down To Talent Foundation is a community organisation based in Kibera, the largest informal urban settlement in Africa. They provide mentorship, leadership, and educational empowerment to their local community. They also provide food packs as well as menstrual hygiene education and period pads to the most needy girls. We’re excited to be working with this dynamic and proactive group and to help make a positive contribution to the education and lives of girls in Kibera.
