Did you know...
870,000 girls in Kenya are missing 4 days of school every month due to a lack of sanitary pads and underwear?
Peter Nduati, CEO of Resolution Health, an East African Health Insurance company, calls this a “national crisis.”
ZanaA will be keeping adolescent Kenyan girls in school by first coordinating the current free distribution already taking place, and second by developing environmentally friendly, locally-made sanitary pads, helping girl regain 3.5 million learning days each month.
NEWS FLASH: ZANAAFRICA IS THE 2009 WINNER OF THE WHARTON AFRICAN BUSINESS FORUM BUSINESS PLAN COMPETITION. Called "game changing" by the judges, this win takes ZanaAfrica to the next level in solving a national challenge in a sustainable, replicable way. We are now seeking PRI funding from forward-thinking private or family foundations to reach the next level.
This Thanksgiving we are celebrating a $50,000 gift from a private family foundation! We are seeking two other family foundations to match this, which would ensure that 50% of our Empowerment Club financing is met for 2009 and we can help over 3,000 girls each week.
Explore our site to find out more about us, the issues we are addressing, and how you can get involved.
Or if you're ready to give, invest in a girl now by credit card on the Donations page!
