Making A Difference: The o.b. Share-It-Forward Facebook Campaign

At one point or another we come across little things in life that we often take for granted. I hadn't thought much about one of those being basic sanitary protection until I received the opportunity to share information about the o.b. Share-It-Foward campaign. Do you remember when you got your first period? Personally, I was 14 and excited because I was the only one in my group of friends that had not been visited by the monthly Aunt Flo yet. I was prepared mentally and physically for things to get going. But can you imagine what many unprepared girls go through in other parts of the world, and even in our own country?

For girls in many developing countries, sanitary protection is considered to be a luxury item. That means millions of girls go without this monthly necessity and often end up missing school, dropping out altogether, or resorting to dangerous alternatives. Furthermore, poverty and disease, including HIV, is increased. To help respond to this crisis, the o.b. brand created the Share-It-Foward Facebook campaign as a way to raise and awareness for Huru International.

Huru International is a non-profit organization that provides at-risk young girls in developing countries with the resources and knowledge they need to complete their education and safeguard their health. Offered to girls at no cost, Huru Interernational offers a Huru Kit. Check out the contents below.

How can YOU help??

Through December 5th, the o.b. Brand will donate $1 (up to $25,000) for every person who visits the o.b. Outreach Tab on the mighty. small.™ movement Facebook page and "Shares" a message about Huru International's mission. Posts can be shared, on your Wall, a friend’s Wall, within a Group, or as a Message.

The o.b. brand is my preferred brand of monthly sanitary protection. I'm proud of them for recognizing the struggles of young women in developing countries and I think this is a great step in the right direction for these girls. It's even better that they're partnering with Huru, who is giving these girls REUSABLE sanitary protection instead of a tampon like o.b. makes. Now that is called compassion without boudaries! Helping out these girls is SO easy so get going!

Tell me! Did you spread the word?
