My Project

As we dive into another thrilling journey with our robotics team, I’ve recognized an essential need that is often overlooked but critical for our female students’ dignity and comfort to access feminine hygiene products during competitions and travel. My project seeks to ensure the need to participate in robotics competitions without worry.

The lack of access to these necessities can create unnecessary barriers for these bright, aspiring engineers, hindering their ability to engage in their education and extracurricular activities fully.

I’m seeking your support to provide a comprehensive supply of feminine hygiene products and other essential personal care items. This initiative is more than just meeting basic needs; it’s about ensuring every student can fully and confidently engage in team activities, creating an environment where gender does not limit one’s ability to participate and excel.

Your contribution will profoundly impact these students’ lives by offering them the support they need to focus on what truly matters: their passions and goals, empowering our female students, and allowing them to compete, learn, and grow without limitations. Your generosity is a step towards a more inclusive and supportive environment for our young innovators.
