Stop The Spot Sanitary Products

Supplies sanitary napkins to 10 girls for 3 months so they never miss school.

Girls miss 3–5 days of school every month due to a lack of period supplies. FIOH-USA's 'Stop The Spot' initiative supplies 600 girls across three schools ($1,500 for 3 months / $6,000 annually). A single $25 gift provides sanitary napkins to 10 girls for three full months, keeping them confident and present in class.

School Supplies & Classroom Learning

Equips primary school children with uniforms, exercise books, textbooks, and pens.

In Kenya and Zambia, kids are turned away from school because they can't pay tuition or afford a required uniform. A $50 gift removes that barrier completely for an entire academic term, keeping vulnerable children in class and learning.

When fully planted, two gardens provide a reliable supply of fresh vegetables for a family of four all year, turning barren land into reliable nutrition and a surplus to sell at local markets.
