On May 28, 2022, the Riley Orton Foundation celebrated the work carried out all year round to promote good menstrual health and hygiene, empowering marginalized girls living in rural areas.
Periods should not be something that keeps girls from living their life and keeping them out of class.
On this special day, we gave free sanitary pads to about 60 girls, and we are taking another step forward by bringing boys on board by adding an education element to the day.
The free pads relieve a massive financial burden on the girls and empowers them to continue to come to school.
Riley Orton is committed to raising awareness and educating both boys and girls about menstruation and sexual and reproductive health, so they can learn how to normalize menstruation and end period stigma.
