Huru International Micato is a major donor and proud supporter of Huru International, founded in 2008 by AmericaShare’s co-founder Lorna Macleod. Huru manufactures reusable sanitary pads—more than 1,300,000 to date—which have been distributed in free Huru Kits to more than 165,000 girls in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. East African girls who can’t afford sanitary pads very often avoid school during their periods, losing as much as an entire month each school year. The consequences are significant: girls who miss school or work fall behind, drop out or quit, perpetuating a grim cycle of poverty and gender inequality. But Huru Kits have proven to be a simple, sustainable, and wonderfully practical way to alleviate this worldwide problem.

38  THE MICATO ONE FOR ONE COMMITMENT

Each Huru Kit consists of a colourful drawstring backpack with eight reusable pads; three pairs of underwear; detergent-grade soap for washing pads; a resealable waterproof bag for safe storage
