Join a Sew-a-thon to Prepare for Service Project at District Conference

At the Joint Rotary District 5950 & 5960 Conference, we are sponsoring a project to make 450 feminine hygiene kits to be distributed among girls in remote areas of the world who do not have access to available, clean and cheap feminine hygiene supplies. But, to make these kits we need lots of help in advance from both people (men and women) who can sew and those who cannot.

The purpose of these kits is to provide protection to girls so they can attend school and have a more dignified life.These kits can last 3 years with proper cleaning. To give a girl 3 more years of schooling will help break the poverty cycle and is instrumental for positive social change in families and in the world.

Some of the tasks are sewing flannel liners, waterproof shields and bags, turning fabric and ironing, tracing patterns on fabric, cutting fabric, stringing bags, and putting snaps on the shields.

Food and drink provided, Bring sewing machine if possible. Stay as long or as short as you like.
