About the role

---

Days for Girls Strathfield is seeking volunteers to attend a monthly Sewing Bee Day on Wednesdays from 10am to 12pm at Burwood Library & Community Hub.

Volunteers will gather to make the packs, it is a hands-on project for those who enjoy fellowship and the opportunity to sew. The Days for Girls Kits provide reusable hygiene products that can be washed and used for up to five years, not only giving these girls independence, but also confidence and extra days of education each month.

The project provides solutions for women and especially school-age girls in impoverished countries where lack of feminine hygiene products limits their ability to go to school and work many days each month

The suitable volunteer will have the following attributes:

• Sewing experience preferred but not essential
• Working from home opportunities for experienced sewers if required.
