Event: Menstrual Cycle, from 28 May 2021 to 30 June 2021
Take part in the Menstrual Cycle to raise vital funds so girls don't have to drop out of school when they get their periods.

Story

I am taking part in the Menstrual Cycle because I believe that all girls have a right to manage their periods with dignity. Girls in West Africa are missing out on their education because they dont have adequate access to period products. The start of a period for girls living in the worlds poorest communities, can mean dropping out of education completely, leaving them at greater risk of child marriage, early pregnancy and exploitation. No woman or girl should be held back because of her period. I'm raising funds to end period poverty NOW! Please support me.

About the charity

Plan International Ireland is a development organisation that advances children's rights and equality for girls. Everyday, we ensure that the children who are most marginalised receive the education and essential services they deserve and the protection and care they are too often denied. Your generous donations go to life-saving projects, such as providing clean water supplies and child immunisation, which make an immediate and lasting impact to the world's poorest children. We know that it is impossible for a child to reach their potential unless their community is developing alongside them. Plan International's commitment to each community means that the health, sanitation and education programmes we establish are long-term and sustainable.
