My Project

Help me give my students access to period products, tissues, wipes, hand sanitizers, and body deodorants to ensure they feel comfortable and confident during their menstrual cycles.

Many students face challenges managing their periods due to lack of access to essential hygiene products.

Having items readily available creates a supportive environment where students can access necessary items without embarrassment or financial strained, reduce absenteeism related to menstruation, promote better hygiene practices.

Funding this project will help reduce period poverty and empower our students to focus on their education without the added stress of managing their menstrual needs.
