Vv Apparel has chosen Jane Adeny Memorial School for Girls for their Forever Giver Program. Vv Apparel will donate 15% of product sales to Jane Adeny Memorial School when the promo code AFRICA is entered AND the customer will receive a 10% discount on their order for using the code.

We at Friends of JAMS think this partnership is especially appropriate because of the significant connection between hygiene and education for girls, especially in Africa. Many of the students at JAMS arrive without adequate clothing and most of them cannot afford menstrual pads. That is why Jane Adeny Memorial School provides clothing and sanitary supplies to all JAMS students.

Vv Apparel is a family-owned company founded by three sisters who spent years developing a line of women’s panties that are waterproof, leak and stain resistant, comfortable, and stylish. As they say, “we have tested it personally. Vv SkiVvys: The prettiest protection you will ever wear!”

Hygiene and Girls’ Education

After decades of ignoring the issue, researchers and educators are now finding overwhelming evidence that lack of menstrual hygiene supplies is a major cause of adolescent girls missing many days of school and even dropping out. The United Nations Girls’ Education Initiative is now publicizing the issue that researchers like Dr. Marni Sommer of Columbia University have brought to light.
