EmpowHER, Period
EmpowHER, Period was created in 2019 to provide sanitary pads and hygiene items to women and girls in low income communities who often face a lack of access to menstrual products.
Too many individuals living in poverty are unable to access the basic products required to manage their menstrual health. Living on the street, in a car, or in an abandoned building can be tough on anybody. Sometimes even life-threatening. But how about simple things... like not being able to bathe or brush your teeth? Can you imagine what a luxury a clean pair of socks would be?
When female students don’t have access to period products, not only do they not feel protected, but it also puts their confidence, dignity and education at risk. They are less likely to be able to participate in their education and other activities, and if they are, they are likely to feel distracted and unable to focus on reaching their full potential.
Nevertheless, through innovation, education, and advocacy Raising BeYOUtiful Butterflies is committed to keeping girls in school and women in the workforce, move towards a world where girls feel empowered in their bodies, achieve economic independence, understand their sexual and reproductive health options, and harness the power to shape her own future by . We partner with schools, communities and nonprofit organizations to provide essential hygiene care packages, including menstrual products, to distribute to the women and girls who need them.
