What we take
Menstrual care products
Period poverty is the lack of access to safe, hygienic period products and/or sanitary systems. Due to poor menstrual education and a long history of cultural stigma, period poverty is often overlooked within the cyclical struggles of poverty.
Our partners are fighting period poverty by helping get critical menstrual care items to folks who need them!
