our october '23-october '24 report is out now!

In partnership with the El Dorado Food Bank, we have created the Care to Share Program which works to donate period products and sanitary supplies to those who need it the most. The goal is to help battle period poverty and promote public health in the region. Our first hygiene drive (which was the region's first school-wide hygiene drive) collected nearly 1200 products, helping create packages to support over 100 menstrual cycles! These donations will go to over 30 of the food bank's distributor sites, such as women's shelters and safe parking lots for women. 

Working with AfriPADS, we hope to help East African women in the Kiboga municipality of Uganda, where disabled women and many women in the fishing industry live. By providing them with sustainable and reusable menstrual products, these women will be helped in a way that is positive for their livelihoods and the environment around them. We have donated the reusable equivalent of around 63660 products, and have created campaigns to help around 80,000 women living in the Kiboga Fishing District, especially women with disabilities who cannot easily afford menstrual products.

 I got the incredible opportunity to represent my country at a conference with nearly 100 global representatives from organizations that tackle WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) policy and gender equity on April 25, 2024 ). I was the only student and a proud representative of the U.S. and brought my opinions on import taxes on raw materials and menstrual taboos to the table. It was an incredible experience to hear representatives from Tanzania, Uganda, Malawi, and other east African nations. 

Working with volunteers from our local American Red Cross Chapter, we were able to secure volunteers to help out with the Hygiene Drive initiatives. We are grateful for all volunteers and they each have received commendation (in the form of certificates for their hours provided) for their efforts! Thank you to all those who care just as much as we do!

Aunt Flow, the largest organization in the United States working to fight for menstrual equity, was willing to allow us to present a pitchdeck and wanted to work with us on implementing a distributor system at our school. More to come on the distributors and making advocacy guides for students who are passionate about issues such as these in Spring 2025!

Working with Zazzle to place our products on a marketplace platform, we sell tote bags that allow for people to embrace their stationery nerd. It truly means a lot to us that there is a platform out there that is willing to house our small business and we hope placing our products on this site will allow for our mission to get more exposure.
