Story
We want to ensure students in the Isle of Man have access to sanitary protection whenever they need it so that no one has to miss out on their education because of their period.
We hope to supply Primary and Secondary schools across the Island with red plastic boxes stocked with a range of sanitary products, including pads of varying absorbancies, tampons and new, clean underwear. Students can access the box whenever they need to and take whatever they need to see them through their period - and in to the next one.
The boxes will be stocked with donations made by members of the public and we hope to raise funds to allow us to make top-up purchases where necessary so that we can provide what each school requires to meet the needs of their students, as well as to put towards some of the set-up costs involved; for example purchasing the boxes themselves, printing etc.

6 years agoWow! We have smashed our target within a week! Thank you to everyone who has donated so far - we will be using the funds to purchase boxes to place in schools as well as towards printing and other running costs. We also hope to be able to top up our stock levels as needed to support our schools with items they need, so further donations are greatly appreciated. Thank you again, we are all absolutely blown away by the generosity and support for our young people here in the Isle of Man.
