African Vision of Hope Christian School

Water for the Oppressed distributed 70 feminine hygiene kits to female students. The distribution reached out to grade school and college aged girls with one goal in mind: enable the girls to remain in school during their monthly cycle. In many third world countries such as Zambia, the young ladies cannot afford to purchase such feminine hygiene items and miss school as a result. It is estimated that young girls miss up to two months of educational opportunities each year due to their monthly cycle. These invaluable kits, which can last up to three years, were graciously donated by our friend Susan Carroll, along with many dedicated volunteers in South Hill, Virginia.
