Every month for about a week, homeless menstruators are faced with the problem of spending the little money they have either on a meal or on a box of tampons or pads.
Due to a lack of resources, homeless girls, women and trans men are forced to deal with their periods in many different ways - from socks, newspapers, plastic bags, and napkins, to rags, shirts and cotton balls. This causes our homeless menstruators to become at risk of toxic shock syndrome and other health related issues. Through your generosity, we have the power to put a dent in period poverty for our homeless and also our young menstruators in high-poverty areas.
Similarly, without access to proper resources, girls are often forced to stay home from school during their periods. This leads to them missing anywhere from 10-20% of school days.
To address these problems, Save Our Jewels and Melanated Pearl are partnering to provide a total of 2,500 packs of plant-based and non-toxic Reign Premium Sanitary Napkins to the schools, homeless shelters, and church listed below, and it will take us $25,300 to get there!
