Brittie Cares: This Month We’re Supporting Days for Girls Nepal
What is Days for Girls?
Days for Girls is an international nonprofit on a mission to work to eliminate the stigma and limitations associated with menstruation so that women and girls have improved health, education, and livelihoods.
In Nepal specifically, menstruation is still surrounded by stigma, silence, and very real barriers — barriers that keep girls out of school, women out of work, and entire communities from reaching their potential.
In Western Nepal, girls are often isolated in cattle sheds or small huts each month during their periods, as part of a cultural practice called chhaupadi. Not only do girls face embarrassment, but they often are exposed to real danger — from extreme weather, smoke inhalation and attacks.
Days for Girls Nepal is changing that narrative from one of shame to one of celebration, led by a local training team of Nepali girls and women.
Since 2015, they’ve reached more than 70,000 women and girls across 44 districts in Nepal — providing menstrual health solutions, life-changing education, and advocacy that breaks down the shame surrounding something every woman experiences.
How Day's for Girls Helps
- DfG Kits — Reusable, washable period kits made by local Nepali women who are trained and employed through the program. These kits give girls reliable period protection so they don’t have to miss school.
- Menstrual Health Education — Certified Nepali educators go into communities to provide real, factual education about menstrual health — replacing shame with knowledge.
- Economic Empowerment — Women are trained to sew and sell DfG Kits, giving them income, independence, and a voice in their communities.
Their tagline says it all: “Turning periods into pathways.”
Why Brittie Cares is Donating to Days for Girls This Month
We’re supporting Days for Girls this month because access to basic health resources should never determine a girl’s education, confidence, or future.
Their work directly addresses barriers that impact daily life, providing both practical solutions and long-term support through education and opportunity.
