✅活動介紹：
聽過「月經貧窮」嗎？月經貧窮泛指生理女性因為經濟困難，沒有辦法負擔或取得足夠的生理用品，進而對生活造成長期負面影響的社會現象。這不只是經濟弱勢的國家單有的難題，更是全球都急需面對的課題。
非洲偏鄉女性經常因為負擔能力問題，而無法獲得基本生理用品，有些女孩甚至透過性交易換取衛生棉。
供應可重複使用的布衛生棉，降低了每月購買拋棄式衛生棉的經濟負擔，換算起來每年大約是120,000烏先令(986台幣)，這筆錢現在可以被應用在比如教育、食物、或健康等地方。少了經濟依賴，女性可以重掌她們的身體和維生選擇，可謂「布衛生棉讓她們自由。」
號召北部夥伴一起來參與DIY活動，縫製可重複使用的布衛生棉，盡一己之力協助非洲女孩月月無煩惱。
活動盈餘將投入非洲端計畫
💚現場提供茶點，請自行攜帶環保杯，地球感謝您!
💚當天也會有來自非洲的手工藝品義賣，歡迎相約大小朋友一起來
💚感謝廠商贊助禮品，每張票券享有一次抽獎，現場抽出。
✅公益分享｜愛女孩國際關懷協會理事長暨創辦人 劉兆雯Sara
從一次非洲援助活動中，看見非洲國家婦女在生活的不便與艱辛，由於教育與資源的短缺不足，導致婦女在生理期無法獲得適當的幫助和物資，進而導致疾病的蔓延和心理問題，陷入惡性循環。透過物資捐助、教導婦女製作布衛生棉等方式，兆雯期望能夠將技術與教育推行至各地，幫助更多有需要的女孩，轉變婦女的生命，為她們的生命帶來正向的影響力。
以中文進行分享，第一場及第三場
✅公益分享｜烏干達專案經理 卡烈Excel
Excel是一位來自烏干達的水資源計畫標竿成員，他積極參與計畫的協作，推動建立了有效的流程與管理機制，展現了精明能幹的能力。雖然生於貧民區，但他靠著自己的努力取得了烏干達當地供應鏈管理碩士學位，並正在臺灣深造永續發展碩士學位。
在台灣他必須忍受遠離妻子和女兒，以及適應新的語言和文化，同時體驗與學習與非洲截然不同的便利生活，例如無線網路、捷運和悠遊卡支付等。透過Excel和其他非洲夥伴的故事，我們看到了他們的堅韌不拔和對改變的渴望
以英文進行分享搭配翻譯。第二場及第四場
✅手作介紹｜
東非偏鄉女孩迫切需要生理用品，生活在貧窮線下的她們，生理期到來時無法上學、甚至坐在沙地上等待月經結束，但只需要布衛生棉就可以改變這一切！
愛女孩長期在非洲執行計畫，至今已幫助逾十五萬名婦女學習布衛生棉縫紉，以脫離月經貧窮。在台灣，我們也號召熱心志工一起為女孩而縫，完成的布衛生棉將會送至非洲，作為禮物送給完成訓練的女孩，使她們馬上有可替換使用的布衛生棉。
✅非洲義賣｜
每件商品皆來自非洲，獨一無二、手工製作；而義賣的產品也都將回饋至愛女孩計畫，義賣品以現場為主(肥皂石、木雕、花布產品、編織香草盤等)
🩷第四場特別來賓｜吳汶芳Fang Wu🩷

愛女孩國際關懷協會·Love Binti International
Love Binti 取自斯瓦希里語 -- 關懷、愛護女孩之意。
在非洲，女性不僅是主要家庭照顧者，女性農業勞動人口的佔比也高達60-80%。即便如此，社會體制的束縛往往使她們付出許多，收穫卻很少。更因買不起生理用品、受教權不被保護等問題，而深陷貧窮。
愛女孩從布衛生棉縫製與衛生教育開始，深入非洲(烏干達、肯亞、南蘇丹、史瓦帝尼、坦尚尼亞）鄉間，不僅看到婦女們在農業、健康、教育各層面所面臨的困境，更看見她們的韌性與毅力將會是家庭與社群能否脫離貧困的關鍵力量。透過成立工作坊、改善農業環境與水資源、整合供應鏈等方式，愛女孩致力於保障婦女的權益，並進一步翻轉整個偏鄉社群。

There are a variety of menstrual products available for purchase on supermarket shelves in Taiwan; however, girls in East and Southern Africa interrupt their studies because they cannot afford sanitary napkins and lack comprehensive hygiene education. They live below the poverty line. The daily expenditure is less than NT$60, and a pack of sanitary napkins costs NT$34.8, making sanitary products a luxury item.
2024/7/20-21 We sincerely invite you to come to Huashan 1914 Cultural and Creative Industry Park to participate in DIY activities, and sew reusable pads.
Let's help African girls have worry-free periods every month.
💖All surplus from the activities will be reinvested into the African side project💖
✅ Sessions:
First Session: July 20 (Saturday) 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Second Session: July 20 (Saturday) 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Third Session: July 21 (Sunday) 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Fourth Session: July 21 (Sunday) 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM（well-known Fang Wu attended)
✅ No gender restrictions! If a child is under 12 years old, parents are required to purchase a ticket and accompany them.
✅ Registration Fee: $400 per person (includes materials, instruction, and Taiwanese-African refreshments).
✅ Location: Huashan1914 Creative Park, "M3 Sake Factory 2F" (No.1, Bade Road Sec.1,Zhong Zhen District,Taipei 100)
✅ Introduction:Have you heard of "period poverty"? Period poverty refers to the social phenomenon where women, due to economic hardship, cannot afford or obtain sufficient menstrual products, leading to long-term negative impacts on their lives. This is not only an issue in economically disadvantaged countries but also a global challenge that needs urgent attention.
In rural Africa, women often cannot afford basic menstrual products. Some girls even resort to transactional sex to obtain sanitary pads. Providing reusable pads reduces the economic burden of buying disposable pads each month, which can amount to approximately 120,000 Ugandan Shillings (986 TWD) annually. This money can now be redirected to education, food, or health. By reducing economic dependency, women can regain control over their bodies and livelihood choices. In other words, "reusable pads set them free."
We call on our partners in the northern region to join us in this DIY event to sew reusable cloth sanitary pads and help African girls have worry-free periods every month.
💚 Refreshments will be available on-site. Please bring your reusable cup; the earth thanks you!
💚 There will also be a charity sale of African handicrafts on the day of the event. Feel free to invite friends and family.
💚 Each ticket is a raffle. Thanks to our sponsors for providing gifts that will be drawn during the event
✅ Sharing｜Sara Liu, Chairperson and Founder of the Love Binti International
During an aid trip to Africa, Sara witnessed the hardships and inconveniences faced by women in African countries. Due to the lack of education and resources, women are unable to receive proper assistance and supplies during their menstrual periods, leading to the spread of diseases and psychological issues, trapping them in a vicious cycle. Through donations of supplies and teaching women how to make cloth sanitary pads, Sara hopes to extend these skills and education to various regions, helping more girls in need, transforming the lives of women, and bringing positive impacts to their lives.
The sharing will be conducted in Chinese during the first and third sessions.
✅ Sharing｜Swalle Excel Kafeero, Uganda Project Manager
Excel is an important member of the water resources project in Uganda, actively participating in the collaboration and promoting the establishment of effective processes and management mechanisms, showcasing his competence and capabilities. Despite being born in a slum, he earned a master's degree in supply chain management in Uganda through his own efforts and is currently pursuing a master's degree in sustainable development in Taiwan.
In Taiwan, he endures being away from his wife and daughter and adapts to a new language and culture, while experiencing and learning about the conveniences that are vastly different from Africa, such as wireless internet, the MRT, and EasyCard payments. Through the stories of Excel and other African partners, we see their resilience and desire for change.
The sharing will be conducted in English with translation during the second and fourth sessions.
✅ Sewing Introduction｜
Girls in rural East Africa are in urgent need of menstrual products. Living below the poverty line, they are unable to attend school during their periods, sometimes even sitting on the ground waiting for their menstruation to end. However, just a cloth sanitary pad can change all this!
Love Binti has been running projects in Africa for a long time, helping over 150,000 women learn to sew reusable pads to end period poverty. In Taiwan, we also invite people to sew for the girls. The completed reusable pads will be sent to Africa as gifts for girls.
✅ African Market｜
Each item is handmade and unique, coming from Africa. The proceeds from the sale will go back to the Love Binti. The charity sale will primarily feature products on-site, including soapstone, wood carvings, woven and fabric items, and more.
🩷Special guest for the fourth session｜Fang Wu🩷
Wen Fang, a well-known Taiwanese singer, saw that Love Binti cares for women and girls during their menstrual periods in East Africa and has improved 150,000 women through reusable pads and hygiene education.
She will show up in the fourth session to participate, invite fans to join in the event, and positively influence society!
