Dignity Kits

Protect your sisters’ dignity for just £35!

The conflict in Lebanon has escalated over the last few weeks.

A country which already has a crippling economy, one of the largest refugee population per capita alongside a humanitarian crisis now has nearly 1 million people displaced.

100s of thousands of people have fled to neighbouring cities which are already densely populated seeking safety and refuge in shelters and schools.

Through The Dignity Project we are providing essential items to families in need. We are distributing both disposable sanitary pads and reusable sanitary pads (depending on water access) alongside food, water and other supplies.

Women in Lebanon can no longer afford menstrual and basic hygiene products, as plummeting economic conditions in the country have pushed 78% of the population below the poverty line. For many female refugees, it’s a case of choosing between food or hygiene items. Period Poverty is defined by the lack of access to sanitary products, a safe and hygienic place in which to use them, and the right to manage menstruation without shame or stigma.

With no other options in sight, many have been forced to find alternatives, such as using newspapers, old cloth or tissue paper. All are very unhygienic and cause health issues that they cannot afford to treat.

Just £35 will help to provide women with a reusable, sustainable option that can last up to 3 years, as well as other necessary hygiene products .

Alongside the distribution of the dignity bag, each beneficiary and another female member of the household will be given an awareness session on how to use and clean the reusable pads, giving these women a safe space to discuss this delicate topic with sessions led by trained local volunteers.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Jigsaw receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
