Our Mission
To provide feminine hygiene products to young women in Zimbabwe, that would otherwise be forced to use unhygienic means of protection, miss school and be embarrassed of a
natural part of womanhood.
Projects
Dignity for the Girl Child was founded in 2018. The driving force was a strong desire to meet the challenges so many young girls in Zimbabwe face monthly due to their lack of access to
feminine hygiene products.
We are currently in eight different communities within Zimbabwe, serving 700 young women. Community leaders are excited about the change that is happening in the lives of these young women. Not only do we supply feminine hygiene products but we also educate the girls on proper use.
We also had a special project a few years ago when the effects of Cyclone Idai hit the Eastern Region of Zimbabwe in March 2019.
Dignity Christmas
Every Christmas we raise money to give a special gift and Christmas meal to all our girls. In December 2019, the year after Dignity was founded, Dignity for the Girl Child hosted parties at our 6 locations for over 300 girls. Each girl received a Dignity Christmas Package and shared a Christmas meal. Since then, we have grown each year.
In 2022 we were aiming for 700 girls and all the volunteers. Our goal was $10,000 this past Christmas and we had a donor who would match $5000 raised. We were able to reach the set goal and Christmas parties took place in the first week of December.
2023
If you like to plan ahead and are able to help towards the upcoming Dignity Christmas gifts and parties in 2023, you are welcome to send an e-transfer to dignityforthegirlchild@gmail.com
Please make the donation payable to Manitoulin Community Church and mark it Dignity Christmas. Thank you so much!
