My Project

Mark Twain famously said that being uncomfortable with oneself is the worst kind of loneliness. Middle school can be a difficult time for students who are dealing with changes in their bodies. For girls, this is often the time when they experience their first periods.

It is vital that girls have access to the resources they need to feel comfortable and confident during this time.

Unfortunately, many girls don't have access to basic necessities like sanitary pads.

Therefore, it's important to ensure that girls have access to sanitary pads whenever they need them, without having to answer any questions or face any embarrassment. They should know that someone has what they need, whether they require them at school or later on at home.

By providing girls with the resources they need, we can help build their confidence and empower them to become proud and capable leaders of tomorrow.
