The 100.000 period poverty project

Menstrual health is a key factor in breaking the cycle of poverty and ensuring equal opportunities for all. Around the world, too many girls and women lack access to safe and reliable menstrual products. This not only affects their hygiene and health but also limits their ability to attend school, work, and participate fully in daily life.

A basic product can change a life.

We are calling for more donations to provide sustainable menstrual products to those who need them most. Every contribution makes a real difference. With your support, we can supply long-lasting products that offer up to 10 years of safe use—restoring dignity, access to school, opportunity, and hope. Thank you!

With the support of GlobalGiving donors, we continue our mission to improve menstrual health in Kenya, Ghana, and Malawi. This time, our focus has been on reaching girls in Malawi with sustainable menstrual solutions.

In one of Malawi’s most remote regions, we work to ensure that young students from some of the country’s poorest families have the opportunity to complete secondary school. Access to education is key to unlocking a brighter future.

However, the lack of menstrual products often forces girls to stay home from school during their periods, negatively impacting their education and future opportunities.

To address this, we recently distributed menstrual cups to 130 secondary school girls.

These sustainable solutions help reduce school absenteeism and empower girls with greater freedom.

Alongside the distribution, the girls received vital education on hygiene and sexual health—knowledge that has the power to transform lives.

Investing in girls is investing in the future: In northern Malawi, we remain committed to ensuring that girls have better opportunities to stay in school—every day, all month long. Thank you for being part of this journey!

Your continued support makes a real difference.
