Summary

Project Soar will distribute our sustainable menstrual kit, Soar x Hurya, to teen girls across Morocco. Access to period products allows girls to stay in school, helping to reduce child marriage and teen pregnancy. With your support, Project Soar can provide this eco-friendly, shame-free, and hygienic kit to hundreds of teen girls each year + deliver our Body Module workshop to educate girls on how to manage their period.

Challenge

Adolescent girls are the most vulnerable and marginalized group on the planet today. These girls face the double discrimination of being female and young; they are often denied education and are subject to child marriage, and early motherhood. Period poverty contributes to the inequality teen girls face. Menstruation supplies are expensive, especially for families that already have a limited income. If girls don't have supplies to manage their period, both their health & education are at risk.

Solution

The Project Soar mission is to empower teen girls to become leaders of today and tomorrow, and we do so through our signature empowerment curriculum, Soar in a Box. "Body" is the focus of module 3; in this workshop girls learn how their bodies work and are provided with sustainable period underwear to ensure they can manage their periods for at least 2-3 years. Project Soar never distributes reusable pads, which are much less hygienic than period underwear and can be shame-inducing.

Long-Term Impact

Access to menstrual products empowers girls to take control of their education, paving the way for brighter futures. When girls stay in school, they are more likely to delay marriage, avoid early pregnancy, and build the skills needed to enter the workforce and break the cycle of poverty. By addressing both the immediate need for menstrual health and the long-term goal of gender equality, Project Soar is unlocking opportunities for the next generation of feminist leaders.
