Our Services

During strained financial times sanitary needs are secondary to food and shelter. Lack of affordability and information have led girls to use one disposable pad for multiple days, or alternatives like rags, socks, newspaper or toilet tissue. Lack of menstrual hygiene can lead to health risks such a Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), infections, and cervical cancer becoming a public health issue. Some girls are missing school because they cannot afford tampons or pads. Menstruation and the inability to afford products to accommodate it, or shame about experiencing it, should not lead to an interruption in something as critical as education.

”I used to be the girl you are now helping. When I was younger no one taught me about menstrual health nor purchased any type of hygiene products for me. I had a difficult childhood. During my periods I made my own pads with tissue until I was eventually able to buy pads using money I earned from babysitting.”
