Women Manufacturing Biodegradable Sanitary Pads

Dear Supporter,

 We are in support of women, period. It's well understood that women have to work twice as hard to get to the same stature as men and even when they do, their handicaps are rarely accounted for in their struggle for success.

Those of you who have your period, had your period when you were young, or know young women who have periods, you understand that it's a hassle no matter how convenient it might be with modern toilets and opportunities for disposal, not to mention the expense.

Helping women succeed is sometimes just helping them navigate their menstrual periods in inhospitable situations like going to school with rudimentary plumbing and inadequate opportunities for disposal. Your support buys sanitary pads from vulnerable women who are employed to make hygiene products that are 100% biodegradable. 

We know there are a lot of other ways you could spend your money, so we know you are a person with empathy and compassion understanding a microcosm in a macrocosm world that helps girls build a strong foundation of support as a woman...with no glass ceilings. 

One last thing—sharing our project with your friends and family helps us spread the word about our work and continue to grow our community of supporters like you. If you’re willing to share the story of our work with your network, we’d be incredibly grateful.

Thank you for supporting Empowering Women Period. A few of you donate monthly (a gift we treasure since it's consistent), and we often get donations from those who find us through recommendations. It's all good.

Warm regards,
Shana Greene
