Sewing for God's Child

The Sewing for God's Child group meets once a month on Saturday mornings to make reusable menstrual pads for women in Guatemala. No sewing experience is necessary.

The goal of the Sanitary Pad Project is to keep girls from missing school due to their periods. Sewers from across the country are joining together to create reusable, sanitary pads for teenage girls in GCP’s Vista Hermosa Center and Dreamer Center. Rather than using crumpled-up newspaper or dirty rags from the garbage, these girls will comfortably be able to stay in school during their period. By keeping a young girl in school, we help lift her and her family out of poverty and break them out of the cycle of poverty for generations to come.
