A period should never cost
a girl her education.
We provide menstrual cups and menstrual health education to girls and women in developing communities, so every girl can stay in school, know her body, and own her future.
A period keeps girls out of the classroom.
Without products, education and support, a period means staying home, and days become whole years of lost learning.
