Binden für Bildung – Supporting Girls
Many girls in poor “town ships” of South Africa cannot attend school during their menstruation, because the families have no money for sanitary pads. The girls miss out on one week per month, which equates to one quarter of their school time!
Bärbel Schelling, a close friend to the Lautenbach family, therefore started her project of heart “Binden für Bildung”, while she was living with her family for 1.5 years in South Africa.
The collected money is used to buy sanitary pads in large quantities and distributed to specific schools in monthly batches. Together with the Tokai Lions Club she organizes these deliveries on a regular basis.
The vision is to get the girls to attend school without absences due to menstruation.
Regular funds are needed for this project, to make a meaningful impact in these communities. Only through education do the children have the chance of a better future in their own country.
Every donation, however small, helps!
