Judy Johnson the Days for Girls leader with the Maple Grove Rotary club assisted the Minneapolis City of Lakes with a sew-athon and kit building day on February 4th. Fifty people helped make 300 feminine hygiene kits for girls in Kenya so they can continue to stay in school and have choices in their lives. The World Health Organization says that the single most effective way to spend $1 on global health outcomes is to educate girls and women. The mantra for Days for Girls is "Let's turn Periods into Pathways for girls around the world".
Judy guided the City of Lakes members, family, friends and community members onhow to put these kits together. Everyone lent a hand to uplift these girls. The Minneapolis City of Lakes Treasurer , Sheila Gothmann presented a $1000 check to Judy to help the Maple Grove foundation continue this work around the world!
Thanks to all who participated in Imagining what the world would be like with these girls getting educated and making a change in their lives!
