For far too long, girls have faced stigma, missed school, and struggled due to the lack of proper menstrual hygiene products. At Polycom Girls, we believe that every girl deserves dignity, comfort, and uninterrupted education—because no period should stand in the way of a bright future.
Through our Hygiene and Sanitation Project, we produce and distribute sanitary towels to underprivileged girls, ensuring they can stay in school and thrive with confidence. A safe and hygienic menstrual experience doesn’t just prevent discomfort; it empowers girls to flow with pride, free from shame and limitations.
Beyond menstrual products, Polycom Girls also provides detergents to partner schools, helping maintain clean spaces for these students. Access to clean toilets is just as crucial, allowing girls to manage their periods with dignity and safety.
On May 28, 2025, Polycom Girls joined the world in commemorating Menstrual Hygiene Day, bringing together 120 girls and 30 boys to tackle period stigma and period poverty. This powerful event, joined by the young women working at Kibera Pads Co., was more than just a conversation—it was a movement of awareness, support, and change.
Now, we need YOU!
Your donation will help us expand our reach, ensuring that even more girls receive essential menstrual health support. Together, we can end period stigma, keep girls in school, and create lasting change.
