Mission

Our mission is to end period poverty by providing essential sanitary pads to girls, thereby increasing their access to education. We believe that no girl should have to sacrifice her education or dignity due to lack of access to menstrual health products. By equipping them with the necessary resources, we empower young women to attend school consistently and confidently, fostering an environment where they can thrive academically and personally. Through our dedicated efforts, we aim to create lasting change and break the barriers that hinder the progress and potential of every girl we reach. Join us in transforming lives and building a future where every girl has the opportunity to succeed.

Vision

We envision a world where no girl misses school simply because she is menstruating. We are committed to creating a society where menstrual health is not a barrier to education but a basic right that is respected and supported. Our vision is to ensure that every girl has the resources and support she needs to attend school every day of the month, empowering her to reach her full potential without compromise. By fostering an environment that supports menstrual equity, we are paving the way for a future where every girl can pursue her education uninterrupted, leading to a more inclusive and equitable world.
