We often underestimate the impact that underwear has on the impoverished within our society. This is worse especially in our part of the world where underwear is considered a non necessity, yet it's one source of dignity for human beings especially girls & women. Imagine those imprisoned women who have to share one panty during their periods because the prison facility doesn't give them freely yet some of those incarcerated do not receive guests for years? Even worse, picture a girl in rural Kenya who misses school during her menses because she cannot afford a panty or sanitary towels. As you consider giving during this holiday season, let your social responsibility not only focus on food & toiletries. Give these girls & women ( even men) underwear & restore their joy, dignity & make their holiday season equally special. Happy holidays!🎁🎀

Students Rising Above (SRA) forever changed the trajectory of my life. I applied a lot of scholarships when I was in high school, but to say SRA is a scholarship would be an understatement. SRA provides much more than a check to the college or university the first-gen student decides to go to; SRA equips students with the tools and resources first-gen students need, in order to succeed in college, post college, and overall life. More importantly, SRA serves as a sounding board when things get tough at home. While these students may be off at college, they still have to manage their home duties: parents' doctor appointments, feeding their siblings, contributing to rent, etc...it becomes overwhelming juggling home duties, school, and work but SRA helps make it easier for us through providing SUPPORT. All of this is possible through donations! If you are interested in donating, please do! Quarter-end is a month and a half away for some companies - use it or lose it. Don't lose the money, consider donating to SRA. For those at Cisco, Duo Security, Cisco Meraki, AppDynamics, ThousandEyes (part of Cisco) SRA is part of Benevity/Community Impact so your contribution will be matched.
