January and February Donation: I Support The Girls - Manila ๐
Added 2023-03-13 04:30:05 +0000 UTCDid you know that bras and period products are one of the most requested but least donated items in shelters and relief operations?
Hi, everyone!! We're sending our latest bimonthly donation to I Support The Girls - Manila, a charity organization working to provide undergarments and period products to Filipinos in need. The organization was established in the United States and brought to the Philippines in 2017. I Support the Girls (ISTG) collects and distributes gently used bras and menstrual hygiene items to girls who are homeless, refugees, in transitional housing, or fleeing domestic violence. They do this to help women stand tall with dignity.
"In most cases, [we find] our partners through referrals. When our friends and family first heard about our cause, we received a few suggestions on which communities they think might be interested in our donations. A few of our regular beneficiaries include the Corrections Institution for Women, the rehabilitation programs run by the Religious of Good Shepherd, and the orphanage run by Frontline Ministries, Inc."
They're currently partnering with Concatenate and they have raised Php 24, 200 as of today! They're accepting donations until March 19!
