Slide 2 How would you feel if you were sent to school each month
without any sanitary protection? Unfortunately this is a reality
for millions of girls world wide who are living in third world
countries and are unable to attend school during their menstrual
cycle. Slide 3 The location of Sage in Kenyas schools Slide 4 Slide
5 For hundreds of girls www.sageinkenya.co.uk is a dream come true.
Sage takes its Break the Cycle campaign into the poor rural areas
and slum districts every month to give each of the girls in their
final year of primary school:- 2 packets of sanitary towels
Underwear (If you dont have underwear then you cant use the
sanitary towels!) A one hour lesson based on PSHE often including
boys. Individual counselling for girls who find themselves in
difficult situations (forced marriages, pregnancy, abuse and family
situations etc) Slide 6 Break the Cycle Campaign 2015 Our aim is to
raise 50,000 in 2015 to enable 2015 girls to attend their final
year of primary school. (Under the Kenyan school system girls are
14+ years old when they leave primary school.) Slide 7 Slide 8 A

Slide 11 A mother expresses her thanks for helping her daughter
stay in school. Its really difficult to find the funds to buy
sanitary towels so my daughter felt like she was a burden to me by
asking for what I could not afford, but because of SAGE she was
free. Slide 12 A fathers appreciation of Sage and Break the Cycle
Campaign. Its really hard for me as I am on a low income so I have
to decide whether to buy food or sanitary towels. We have to eat so
my daughter had to stay at home for the 3 4 days of her period.
Sages programme has really helped us, my daughter stayed in school
and achieved good marks. Thank you. Slide 13 On behalf of the
millions of girls in the world who do not have sanitary protection
- we thank you for giving us a voice. Slide 14 How can you help
these girls? 2 a month will keep a girl in school. 100 a month will
enable a class of girls to attend school during their menstrual
cycle. Could you and your class help to keep a girl in school?
