Container with sanitary pads to Lesvos!
The world is up side down and the current situation is affecting us all.
However, a pandemic does not stop people from having their menstruation. We will therefore continue to send sanitary products to people who are forced to live in refugee camps by the borders of Europe.
Send us your contribution by swish to 0733-307577
You can also choose to donate sanitary pads to us by sending them by mail or deliver in person to any of us in the organisation. Do you live nearby Malmö, Lund or Gothenburg - send us an e-mail and we will arrange to pick them up.
