Removing the Stigma in Pakistan
Health is Our Top Priority
The Purpose
What is Period Poverty?
Period poverty is the lack of access to sanitary and clean products, menstrual hygiene education, toilets, hand-washing facilities and waste management.
What is our goal?
Our goal is to empower young girls and their mothers to manage their menstrual health through educating a school in a rural Pakistani village, and providing each of the 30 girls with at least 2 reusable pads. Our hope is to reduce the stigma in this community surrounding periods to improve the hygiene and help girls go through their days with dignity and autonomy.
Why are we doing this?
Only a small percentage of woman who go through menstruation are actually using pads and properly hygienic products, about 12% of woman can afford them in the first place in Pakistan. We are striving to fix this problem by encouraging more girls to use pads and to not be ashamed of using them.
