INVEST IN GIRLS. EMPOWER THEIR FUTURE. CHANGE THE WORLD. Help us empower girls facing period poverty by providing reusable menstrual products, menstrual health education, and safe spaces. Period poverty is an urgent crisis, forcing 1 in 10 menstruating girls to miss school and hindering their future opportunities. Each reusable menstrual cup provided lasts over five years, offering a sustainable and cost-effective solution that transforms lives and ensures no girl is left behind.
Period poverty is a global crisis, with 1 in 10 menstruating girls missing school due to lack of access to products and health services (UN). The World Bank estimates 500 million people lack basic menstrual products and hygienic facilities. Women experience ~450 periods, equal to 3,500 days or 10 years of their lives, generating 150kg of waste per person. Every girl deserves education and opportunity, unhindered by menstruation. With your help, we can provide sustainable empowerment.
We tackle period poverty by distributing reusable, biodegradable Loop menstrual cups with a 5-year lifespan. Through our "Breaking the Silence" program, we provide menstrual hygiene and health training, foster open discussions to break taboos, and support a circular economy with female-led production of storage bags. This sustainable, plastic-free approach restores dignity, empowers girls with education and self-esteem, and reduces waste and water use globally.
We aim to support 100,000 girls with access to reusable menstrual cups and training. In 2023 alone, distributing 1,350 cups and training of 5,000 girls led to fewer missed school days during having their period. The initiative drives environmental impact by replacing disposable products with reusable, biodegradable cups, cutting waste and promoting sustainability. Empowering women through female-led production further boosts economic opportunities, creating lasting benefits for communities.
