The Allen Foundation
The Allen Foundation a 501c3 non-profit was formed in 2001 to assist women and children in need in lesser developing areas. It is staffed and directed by a committed group of volunteers along with local assistance and management at the grass roots level.
Wings without Limits
Our group is busy sewing, sewing sewing, in order to provide FREE feminine hygiene kits to the girls at Narozari Rural School Uganda. It is a huge project for the wonderful ladies who have just joined to help with cutting and straight stitching while the serger is making her machine hum! The Allen Foundation has long thought of the issue for these young girls, and the impact it has on their ability to (a) enjoy life (b) attend school consistently and (c) know that people in a far away place genuinely care about them. Every stitch we make and every cut we do is with love for them. We developed a special logo showing the joy any girl will feel with the gift kit; something those of us who live in different circumstances take for granted.
Thank you donors for the scrap fabrics, and volunteering time to make these items. Helen Allen - Chair
2019 - We are once again sewing. Sewing to provide more kits for girls for both replacements and for girls who newly need them.
I am continuing to be most greatful to a member of our Board of Directors MaryAnn DeHaven plus another sewer, Celia as I could not accomplish labor to continue this necessary project without their help.
This is how the kits looked when packed.
