1 in 3 Canadians under the
age of 25 struggle to afford
menstrual supplies.
Addressing
unseen needs.
Menstrual supplies are a basic necessity—and for years they haven’t been treated that way. We distribute hygiene kits, donating thousands of tampons and pads to people in shelters, remote communities, and on the streets every year. Every time they’re surprised to find them in our care packages—because they’ve never received them before. We want to change that permanently.
We’ve given away 60,000
pads and tampons to people in
shelters, remote communities,
and on the streets.
Period poverty
POSITIVITY.
When it comes to periods, there’s nothing to be ashamed about. But shame inhibits so many from achieving their full potential & puts many at risk. Stigma hides undiagnosed illnesses or causes victims to contract new ones through use of unconventional means.
We help people have honest conversations about their periods, their health, and their experiences—so that they can stay connected to each other and themselves.
We’re diverting thousands of period products
from going to landfills this year.
Fighting
period poverty,
sustainably.
Period poverty in the 21st century requires a zero-waste solution. We’re working with volunteers and organizations across Canada to get 5,000 reusable pads into the hands of individuals at high risk for period poverty.
We’ve opened conversations with over 375 young women and girls in schools across Canada.
