For little more than the cost of a cinema ticket, your $20 sponsorship buys a locally made Hamamas Meri kit for a young female student. With a lifespan of three years, your gift equips her to deal with the challenge of menstruation, helps her stay in school longer and improves her prospects in life. Your sponsorship also provides an income stream for the rural women’s sewing groups participating in the Hamamas Meri programme. Hamamas Meri. Because PNG women & girls shouldn’t be held back.
