International Women’s Day 2021

Days for Girls is thrilled to announce that our International Women’s Day campaign was a huge success!

Thanks to our supporters – plus generous matching pledges from Global Giving and The Jacobs Family Foundation – we exceeded our goal with $14,000 raised for DfG Lebanon.

These critical funds will help our Lebanon team continue their life-changing work with Syrian and Palestinian refugee menstruators, while also serving Lebanese women and girls affected by last summer’s explosions in Beirut. We are so grateful to each and every person who pitched in last week! Special shoutout to the following partners who stepped up to fundraise, donate and raise awareness about our mission all week long. Thanks for making this an International Women’s Day to remember – we couldn’t have done it without you!
