Help The Pachamama Project end period poverty

The Pachamama Project is charity growing a global network of volunteers to make and distribute reusable period pads to refugees and vulnerable people who deal with period poverty.

500 million women around the world experience period poverty and are unable to afford or access period products. This often leads to the use of rags, socks or tissue which are ineffective and can cause infections as well as having long term effects on gender equality as girls drop out of school and women miss work.

Our growing network of over 2500 sewers have now made over 160,000 pads supporting over 20,000 people out of period poverty. We are distributing pads to women, girls and people who menstruate in 12 countries and counting including Lebanon, Uganda, Pakistan, the USA and the UK.

We are determined to make sure that finding safe period products is not yet another challenge for people in very difficult circumstances by getting our pads to the people that need them the most.

We are extremely grateful for any contributions either monetary or through volunteering and we welcome all of your support.
