Worcester Friends reach out

Worcester Friends have been inspired to make FEMpads

by Tara Craig 21st August 2015

A post-Meeting conversation has inspired Worcester Friends to help tackle the lack of feminine hygiene products in developing countries.

Sharon Multani-Colebrook, founder of local charity FEMpads, attended Meeting recently. She told Friends about her charity, which makes reusable sanitary towels for women who cannot afford them. In the case of younger women, the lack of feminine hygiene products can mean they miss a week of school each month.
