Lack of Healthcare, Clean Water and deaths birth from Starvation in developing countries is the sad reality…

But please let’s talk about menstruation!

- Thousands cannot afford or access proper menstrual products

- Many girls and women rely on improvised materials like scraps of old clothing, pieces of foam mattress, leaves, and banana fibres to manage their menstruation – all of which are unhygienic, ineffective, and uncomfortable.

- Critical unavailability of sanitary products in developing countries is a major barrier to education for girls, contributing to absences each month from sch.

- Eventually many of these girls drop out of school entirely, increasing their likelihood of teen pregnancy, health complications and early marriage, and further limiting their future career and economic opportunities.

- Menstruation is one of the most common and uniquely female experiences. Unfortunately, the reality is that around the world millions of girls and women struggle to manage their monthly periods.
