We would like to express our deep gratitude to the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation® for providing a grant to the Bhutan Girls’ Project, through Days for Girls Australia. The doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation empowers people and communities worldwide to make a positive and sustainable change.
With the support of the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation and our joint donor, the Westpac Giving Circle we are launching a pilot program to distribute 1000 Days for Girls Washable Menstrual Health kits to school girls in Bhutan. We are working in close partnership with RENEW and the Bhutanese Ministry of Education, School Health and Nutrition Division.
Menstrual and reproductive health education will be provided by our partners to the Bhutanese school girls receiving the DfG kits. This education is a vital aspect of the mission of Days for Girls to improve outcomes for these girls.
Just as importantly, monitoring and evaluation of the pilot will be undertaken by our partners in association with Days for Girls International. Our hope is that the pilot will be demonstrated to be a success and that a sustainable presence for DfG might be possible in Bhutan through the establishment of a Days for Girls Enterprise. This would mean that DfG Kits may be made in Bhutan on a sustainable basis.
The BGP has been working steadily since 2015 towards this goal and it is exciting to be at the stage where our pilot is about to begin. Just before we do launch off, we’d like to take a moment to acknowledge the generous support of the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation, which has made this pilot possible.
Thank you to the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation! We are so grateful for your support and we look forward to providing updates on our progress.
