By engaging 50,000 people through campaigns and workshops, and connecting with 1 million users via our digital platform by 2028, we strive to create lasting, equitable change for women & girls in South Africa.

Period Poverty

A global crisis!

Period poverty affects 500 million menstruating individuals worldwide, out of the 1.8 to 2 billion who menstruate monthly. In South Africa, 7 million people face this challenge, lacking access to affordable menstrual products, proper sanitation, or education about menstruation. The consequences are profound, particularly for young girls. In Sub-Saharan Africa, 1 in 10 girls miss school during their period, losing 20% of their school year. This disruption hinders education, deepens gender inequality, and restricts future opportunities, highlighting the urgent need for solutions to ensure menstrual equity and dignity for all.
