Bringing Period Poverty To The Surface And Providing Access To Everyone.

Period poverty is often unseen — so it goes unaddressed. Our programs work to solve both of these problems
Support Our Projects

Our front-line program provides 1–3 months’ worth of period and hygiene products to those experiencing period poverty in shelters, remote communities, at home, or on the street. To date, we have distributed 13,000+ three-month supply kits to 350 cities across Canada and conduct quarterly outreach initiatives to support efforts to end period poverty in the Caribbean and Africa, diverting approximately 250,000 lbs of waste from landfills. Our impact extends nationwide through our three flagship programs, currently operating in eight provinces: BC, NB, AB, QC, ON, MB, SK, and NV.

Menstrual shame and lack of education prevent individuals from seeking help or advocating for their health, impacting those with undiagnosed uterine conditions, poor mental health, and low self-esteem. Our pilot project, founded in 2021, has grown into an ongoing initiative to support individuals experiencing period poverty with a long-term solution. We have hosted 35 sewing workshops in the GTA, teaching 250 beginners a sustainable skill, while 165 volunteer sewists have created 7,000+ reusable cloth pads.

We have run several public-facing campaigns about periods and period poverty in the last couple years. All of these campaigns have been focused on breaking the silence around periods. We’ve received media coverage and social media attention for our work.

Media Coverage

Through partnerships with various local community organizations, we have been able to distribute vital materials to women and girls in Jamaica, Nigeria, remote Indigenous communities, and vulnerable populations in Toronto. This impact is made possible by our 6 member Board of Directors, 183 volunteers, core team of 15 volunteers, and 3 part-time staff, in collaboration with partner organizations such as shelters, food banks, and refugee and unemployment centres.
