The crisis funds sent by OneChild to the countries where we work is enabling Hope Centers to provide urgently needed food and other necessities to kids and their families.
Some of these needs are so personal that we may not even think of them. In Kenya, girls in impoverished areas often receive feminine products from their schools. But with schools closed throughout the country girls have nowhere to get these crucial supplies. Lacking these necessary products can impact girls’ health and even make them vulnerable to exploitation by men who promise to help with such basic necessities. So, along with food, Child Champions in Kenya are using the emergency funds to supply sanitary products – and a sense of dignity – to about 2,000 girls.
