Changing Lives

Thank you.

Buying this gift enables more girls to manage their periods with dignity and pride and attend school when they have their period.

Girls miss up to a quarter of their school time, because they do not have the facilities to manage their periods. It’s often a taboo subject, with shame and stigma attached, and many girls have no method of managing it. Without access to education and safe period products women are forced to use unhygienic methods that can cause infection.

Many women and girls cannot afford to buy period products, and even when these are given for free, in some parts of the world, there is often no good way to dispose of the products after use.

But you are helping to change all that.

Our Positive Periods Program

Our positive periods program is sustainable and has no waste products, it is long lasting, and eco-friendly. Reusable pads done the right way, are a tried and tested method respecting the differences in each country. Women learn to make their own sanitary pads with locally sourced and affordable materials, alongside investing in health education and skills enables women to manage their periods with dignity and pride.

We enable people rather than creating dependence on costly products that clog up the environment. Women teach other women; men teach their sisters. Women and men are sharing this program and teaching others.

Girls must be free to go to school. Periods are not a taboo; they are a natural and necessary function. With your help this programme can be sown in over 10 different countries, it will grow and spread and it will enable girls to go back to school, and women to take control of their lives.

How does it make you feel knowing that you are part of a new, sustainable movement, making periods positive and women free?

Thank you.

“One day, when I experienced my period, I decided to use various pieces to stop the blood. Then my mother decided to send me to the market. When I arrived at the market the piece fell down with blood all over it, and many people saw it and told me to take back what I have done. So, I took it and ran back home in shame. When my mother saw me, she asked why are you coming home without the things I sent you for. Then I explained to her what happened in the market.

Since this program has taught me how to take care of myself it has changed my life in so many ways. I am very comfortable knowing how to make my own sanitary pads without the help of anybody, and without having to feel ashamed among my friends when going to school or doing any important thing in my life. So now I collect material to make sanitary pads for myself.”
