We use new cotton fabric to make the Days for Girls shields and drawstring bags.
To get the most yield from a cut of fabric we suggest a 2.25 mtrs - 2.50mtrs piece. Of course any length longer than 5 inches (13cm) is welcome.
You can bring the fabric along on the 17th Volunteer morning or we have drop off points in Atheiba or MQ (looking for someone on the Ruwi and Wave side who might also collect donations for us please).
Please remember for cultural reasons no animals, reptiles, bugs, war, camo, or glam. Floral and geometrical prints in medium to dark colours are best.
If you have the time to wash, dry and press it before donating that is greatly appreciated. When pre-washing fabric we do not use detergents or softeners as they can be an irritant to some girls, just adding a ¼ cup of white vinegar is ideal.
Thank you for helping us keep girls in school.
