We are raising money to fight period poverty in the developing world by providing women with reproductive health education and producing hygienic, culturally relevant, eco-friendly & practical sanitary products.

Story

Barefoot College is fundraising to fight period poverty in the developing world. They are fighting the battle on two fronts. Firstly, through an interactive curriculum to educate women and girls about reproductive health and hygiene. This education is designed not only to provide awareness but also to empower women by giving them understanding and control over their reproductive health. Secondly, the women and girls are given access to a range of environmentally conscious and affordable menstrual care products, including reusable pads, biodegradable disposable pads, and menstrual cups. This provides them with the opportunity to pick a product based on ease of use, disposal method, and cultural context. Their work also generates secondary livelihood opportunities. The sanitary products are produced by rural women from poor communities, who can then sell them for a fair price - this creates a long term solution that can endure the test of time.
