Vickie Remoe, Save the Children Sierra Leone Girl Ambassador, has donated 900 pads to help 300 Girls experiencing “period poverty” in Hanga Village, Kenema District. The gift happened because of digital connections and the collaborative efforts of three Sierra Leonean women. The gift from Remoe was timely as the three organizations had launched an online fundraiser to provide 500 girls with dignity kits. “After months of planning, we launched and advertised our crowdfunding page to provide 500 girls with dignity kits. A fundraiser to provide dignity kits for the girls in Hanga Village is still ongoing.
