MoonBee: Helping School Girls Around the World

Event Details

What's a MoonBee? At this hands-on sewing bee workshop, participants will be creating and assembling reusable feminine hygiene kits to be distributed to school girls in over 30 countries around the world. No special skills are required.

All materials and instruction will be provided by the MoonCatchers Project Inc. This nonprofit organization is on a mission to remove menstruation related barriers to education for girls and young women around the world. These reusable kits allow school girls to fully participate in their education, avoiding the disruption and educational setbacks of missed school days due to menstruation.

Registration is required. Those with sewing skills are encouraged to register, but no special skills are required. There are tasks for all skill levels.

Can't participate but want to contribute? In lead up to this workshop, the library will be collecting disposable feminine hygiene products to be distributed to local charitable organizations. Donations will help address related issues as home.
