What is Period Poverty?
Period poverty refers to the lack of access to menstrual products, proper sanitation and hygiene facilities, and the education needed to manage menstrual health with dignity. In Ethiopia, 51% of girls miss 1-3 days of school due to menstruation. No student should miss out on school or daily life because they cannot afford a basic need. Period poverty is a solvable issue, and one we’re committed to ending!
Our Mission

Our Vision
