INVEST IN WOMEN. EMPOWER THEIR FUTURE. CHANGE THE WORLD. Help us empower women facing period poverty in Kibera, Kenya providing reusable menstrual cups, menstrual health education, and safe spaces. Period poverty is an urgent crisis in Kibera, where women often must choose between pads and food, hindering their future opportunities. Each reusable cup lasts about five years, offering a sustainable, cost-effective solution that transforms lives and ensures no woman is left behind.
Period poverty is a global crisis. The World Bank estimates 500 million women and girls 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. In Kenya, 53.5% of women have unmet period health needs, and in Kibera, 77% have limited access to water and toilets. Every woman deserves 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 women with education and self-esteem, and reduces waste and water use globally.
We aim to support 100,000 women with access to reusable menstrual cups and training. In 2025 alone, we have collected 3578 reusable menstrual products to be given to women who need them the most. 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.
