My Project

We are seeking donations of feminine hygiene products to support the young girls in our mentorship program. Our female students will participate in a day long seminar on topics that pertain to them such as grooming, feminine hygiene, etiquette, and engage with guest motivational speakers. Many of our students come from underserved communities and often lack access to essential items such as sanitary pads, tampons, and feminine wipes.

As we work to empower and uplift these young ladies, we want to ensure their basic needs are met so they can focus on their education, personal growth, and building confidence.

Your generosity can make a meaningful difference in their lives.
