Stand up against period poverty

Donate to provide women and girls with essential hygiene products

500 million women and girls lack proper access to menstrual products. During conflict, it is one of the last priorities. In many places around the world women and girls are forced to use unsafe alternatives such as rags, paper or leaves due to lack of affordable sanitary products.
Your donation today can provide essential menstrual hygiene products and education to women and girls who need it most.
