Tonight is the night. A fundraiser concert at the Kokopelli event center in Vernal is shining a light on the cause of the
100 Humanitarians
organization that helps provide necessary items to improve self reliance in Kenya, Africa. Kaci McNeel will be traveling to Kenya to mentor young women who have been forced into early marriage or face other forms of abuse. Local faith organizations and volunteers have also helped with this cause as hundreds and maybe even thousands of kits have been sewn to be taken to help young girls in Kenya. The “Days for Girls” kits provides the young women with reusable sanitary pads and a method of cleaning them that can last for 3 years. “This helps enable these young women to finish school,” shares McNeel. The alternative for the girls is to be sent home to “sit on cardboard” for the week every month they are on their period or be abused in order to receive the sanitary items they need. Funds will also help families in Kenya develop a source of income to become self reliant. Tonight’s Koncert for Kenya fundraiser will run from 6:00 to 8:00pm at 145 East 100 North in Vernal.
