The local branch of a charity is looking for everyday items to provide hygienic sanitary wear for young girls in poverty stricken parts of Africa.
Australian charity Days for Girls is hosting a free brunch this morning (Sat) from 10.30 at the Philip Christian Centre in Peel for anyone who'd like to help.
The charity is hoping for old bed sheets, flannelette, cotton or good quality underwear to turn into reusable sanitary products.
