Irene remembers the days when her period brought more than just physical discomfort it came with shame, missed school, and the constant fear of staining her clothes in public. Without access to proper menstrual products, Irene often had to stay home from school for several days each month. This not only disrupted her education but also chipped away at her confidence.
That changed when Irene began receiving Lucky Girl Pads through your generosity. With consistent access to high-quality, eco-friendly pads, Irene regained control of her education and her self-esteem. “For the first time, I could go to school during my period without worry,” she says. “It gave me freedom.”
But Irene’s journey didn’t stop there. Inspired by how much her life changed, she made a bold choice to join the team producing Lucky Girl Pads. Today, Irene is not only ensuring she never lacks menstrual products, but she is also helping thousands of other girls stay in school, just like her.
“I used to hide during my period. Now I stand tall, proud to be part of something that changes lives every day.” —Irene
