Days for Girls Australia: How a Volunteer Movement is Changing Lives - One Girl at a Time.

Days for Girls Australia:

How a Volunteer Movement is Changing Lives - One Girl at a Time.

Registration for this event opens on 17 August 2026

Presenter: Kathy Wallace

What if a simple sewing project could help keep girls in school, improve health, restore dignity, and create opportunities for women around the world?

Join Kathy Wallace, Director of "Days for Girls Australia" and Co-Leader of the Wagga Wagga Team, as she shares the story of an extraordinary organisation that is run entirely by volunteers.  Across Australia, more than 1,600 volunteers in over 80 local teams make reusable menstrual health kits and provide education to women and girls who lack access to menstrual products and information.

Through photographs and personal stories from Australia, Cambodia and Papua New Guinea, Kathy will explain how menstrual health can be a barrier to education, employment and equality, and how Australian volunteers are helping to change that.  Discover how a small team in Wagga Wagga is part of a global movement that is improving lives and breaking down stigma.

Registration is free but a gold coin is required to attend the session.
