Join us tomorrow for Change. This week three students working with Days

*Abstract*
Days for Girls Bridges provides sustainable feminine hygiene solutions,
while creating income-generation opportunities in Kenya and Uganda. DfG
Bridges is a for-profit, wholly-owned subsidiary of Days for Girls
International, a 501(c)3. DfG Bridges' hygiene kits are washable,
breathable, leak-proof, and last for up to three years. In addition to
hygiene kits in Kenya, DfG Bridges also supports production of crafts,
such as tote bags, laptop cases, and aprons, in Uganda. Crafts are sold
in the US. The focus on two revenue streams allows DfG Bridges to
provide hygiene kits at a price affordable to consumers in Kenya, as
well as support education and training programs for Days for Girls
International.
*About the Speakers*
The members of DfG Bridges are: Leah Spelman, Kate Faoro, and Lilliane
Ballesteros. All three are first-year graduate students in the Evans
School of Public Affairs at UW. Leah, Kate, and Lilliane will speak
about their experience with the Global Social Entrepreneurship
Competition, and where they hope to go next with the project.
