Story

I'm taking on the Splash the Patriarchy Challenge! 🏊

The funds and awareness you are helping me raise will make a huge difference to ActionAid's work that is sadly and sorely needed.

Did you know 💭

• Half a billion women and girls around the world are still denied what they need to manage their periods safely

Here’s how the funds you are raising can make a real impact:

• £10 could help build safe, clean toilets in schools so girls can manage their periods in privacy.

• £15 could go towards educating girls and boys in menstrual hygiene and reproductive health.

• £20 could provide Girls’ Club Period Packs - periods don’t pause for crises. Without pads, clean underwear or soap, many girls use unsafe alternatives or miss school. Your gift can provide five girls with period packs within a safe and supportive space.

Help me reach £500 today! 💜
