Delta Kappa Gamma

Brenda Heller talked about Days for Girls, during Delta Kappa Gamma Nu Chapter’s April 10 in-person and Zoom meeting held in Shawano. She is the chairperson for the TitleTown Days for Girls in Green Bay. Days for Girls is a nonprofit international organization founded in 2008 that provides handmade feminine products and hygiene education. Forty percent of menstruating girls and women throughout the world do not have access to hygiene products. Girls miss school one week per month and many times fall behind in their education.

Volunteers in chapters sew and create hygiene kits that are sent throughout the world. Each kit includes two waterproof shields, eight absorbent washable liners, two pair of panties, a washcloth, a bar of soap, a water-resistant transport bag and a hygiene card, all placed in a drawstring bag. Each kit lasts about three years. Much work is done at home and then assembled in chapter meetings.

In 2019, 500 volunteers from the TitleTown chapter made 2,500 kits. They will send 200 kits to Liberia next month. Two million kits were made worldwide. Nu Chapter members assembled kits after the presentation.
