My Project
Middle school is a critical time in a young girl’s life, and access to feminine hygiene products is essential for their health, comfort, and confidence. Unfortunately, many girls face challenges in obtaining these products, leading to missed school days, embarrassment, and a negative impact on their education. I want to change that by creating feminine hygiene bags that will provide them with the resources they need to feel comfortable and confident.
Each bag will include pads, wipes, hand sanitizer, and a motivational note, ensuring they have access to everything they need.
By providing feminine hygiene products, we can ensure that these girls can attend school comfortably and focus on their learning without worry or shame. This project aims to support the well-being and dignity of every girl, empowering them to feel confident and capable every day.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
