Your support helps provide menstrual products and hygiene kits for girls in underserved communities around the world.
1.25 billion women and girls are difficult to access to safe and clean toilets
Negative Bias & Discrimination
Menstruation is seen as unclean or shameful, causing emotional distress.
Lack of Access to Menstrual Products
Limited access to pads and hygiene facilities, often due to financial barriers.
Limited Education & Guidance
Many girls grow up without learning how to manage their periods safely or where to seek support.
Different Situations, Shared Challenges
Women and girls face different barriers to menstrual care — from financial hardship and stigma to displacement, crisis, and lack of support.
Minji (16), Korea
Some teens struggle quietly, even in wealthy countries.
Without support at home, Minji used shoe insoles and tissues during her period.
Abigail(15), Ethiopia
Stigma and limited education still affect many girls’ daily lives.
For Abigail, missing school during her period has become routine.
Maya (13), United States
Crisis-affected families often face urgent gaps in care.
In the U.S., Maya learned menstrual care is essential — but still unaffordable.
We support women and girls who are often overlooked — including low-income teens, refugee families, and women facing crisis situations.
All stories are restructured from true stories.
