Lighting Up Lives

April 27, 2016 by Jacqueline Herrera

We recently replaced 44 light bulbs for LED lights in Kenya. This small change will have a big impact, as it will allow the home to save on their electric bill. What this means is that they can use more electricity for less money. So the 70 children that live there will now have lights during the […]

Bring Back Our Girls: 2 Years Later

April 15, 2016 by Jacqueline Herrera

Menstruation: Normal, Natural and Neglected

March 18, 2016 by Jacqueline Herrera

There exists a normal body function that affects the education, health and well-being of women all over the world, due to persisting taboos and lack of access to adequate supplies. It’s something that even in America, we’re often uncomfortable talking about: menstruation. Even in 2016, most women in India do not use sanitary products for […]

The Heart of the Matter: The Plight of Child Marriages

February 19, 2016 by Jacqueline Herrera

Valentine’s Day just passed, but few of us ever take the time to be grateful that we’re in a relationship of our choosing, or are single- even if we wish that was different. Why? Because in many parts of the world, your spouse and life is determined for you. Photo Credit: Stephanie Sinclair for National […]
