Meeting Girls’ Needs in India and Kenya

Thanks to our partnership with Altr’d State, we are able to provide young women with feminine hygiene products

When we consider the needs of our sponsored children, we especially need to consider the particular needs of young girls who might not have access to feminine hygiene products while living in poverty — most likely because their families can’t afford them.

Heartfelt Gratitude from India

Involving Parents in Education in India

At the Auxilium School in Andhra Pradesh, parental involvement is key in children’s education
