Dear supporters,
We hope that you and your family are in good health. The impact of COVID-19 has been a disaster on the health and education of children, both boys and girls. Many of the schoolgirls are forced to prioritize their other basic necessities over safe menstrual products, which has, even more, encouraged us to continue supplying hygiene kits to as many girls as possible.
While COVID-19 cases are increasing every day in Goa and have hampered our progress, it has not discouraged us or our wonderful donors from implementing our project. Our goal is to supply 40 girls at our children’s home with sanitary products every month, and we will continue to fundraise until we reach that goal. Besides this, we are also reaching out to women and girls from slum and poor communities in and around Mapusa, Margao, Calangute, Vasco, and Panjim supplying them with hygiene kits so that they can manage their monthly periods hygienically.
We are able to purchase hundreds of sanitary pad packets every month from the donation we receive from wonderful donors like you. We are also very grateful to the Lion's Club team who have been very consistent with their donation of sanitary pads every month. These have already been given out to our girls who were otherwise unable to access any form of sanitary products. The girls are grateful.
We acknowledge the fact that reaching out to poor and needy girls makes a substantial difference. We love the smiles that we bring to the faces of young girls. The funds you donated through GlobalGiving have been utilized to reach every girl under our care.
A heartfelt thank you from our side for your continued support and we humbly request you to share this opportunity with friends, family, and colleagues so that they can be part of this project by buying a girl sanitary kit for 1 year with a donation of $20 or more. If you would like to regularly engage in this endeavour and project, we encourage you to start a monthly recurring donation for a small amount, which will go a long way in giving them a bright future.

Best Regards,
El Shaddai Charitable Trust
