Help us provide “Dignity Monthly Gift”
Help Girls with Pride and Dignity restore Dignity during periods!
Donate today and provide the “Dignity Monthly Gift” to women and girls in the UK and beyond!
This target will help us secure enough funds for our "Period Poverty Project" for a period of 2 years!
Girls with Pride and Dignity (Registered Charity No. 1196930) is a non-profit organisation on a mission. We fight period poverty and champion equal opportunities for women and girls across the Globe!
Regions we operate in are:
UK: Greater Manchester
Africa: Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi
Asia: Bangladesh (To start in February 2025)
Period poverty is a silent struggle. Many women and girls can’t afford essential feminine hygiene products, leading to:
- Embarrassment and isolation
- Missing school, impacting their education
- Mental health issues due to feeling unclean
Strength starts from within a woman; so precious , but without the necessary hygiene, a woman is easily robbed of pride and dignity tearing her confidence with embarrassment!
A sanitary towel restores this confidence during this period of the month.
The need is Urgent!
In the UK:
Research shows a shocking rise in period poverty. In 2023, 21% of women and girls in the UK struggled, with nearly 2 million girls missing school because of it. In Greater Manchester, the demand for support is surging.
We currently support 70 families in Oldham with our “Dignity Monthly Gift” program, but the waiting list grows.
Your Donation Can Change Lives:
A typical “Dignity Monthly Gift” provides essential feminine hygiene products for women and girls, lasting around 2 - 3 months. Your donation can cover this cost, offering much-needed security and dignity.
Our Goals:
With your support, we aim to:
Double the number of women and girls we reach in Greater Manchester within next year.
Establish additional feminine hygiene banks in key areas across the region.
Continue raising awareness and breaking the stigma around menstruation.
How we can make a difference:
Sarah (16): “Thanks to Girls with Pride and Dignity, I don’t have to miss school anymore. Having reliable period supplies is a huge weight off my shoulders”
Emma (Mother of 2): “The ‘Dignity Monthly Gift’ has been a lifesaver for our family. It allows us to focus on other essentials without worrying about feminine hygiene products”
In Uganda and Burundi:
Since 2017, we support around 250 girls with feminine hygiene products to help them stay in school during their monthly periods. Your donation will help us increase this number up to 700 - 800 girls per year.
In Rwanda:
Since 2017, we provide sanitary equipment for "The Girls Room" at three schools in the capital city - Kigali. Your donation will help us add more schools from the rural areas across the country, where our support is more needed. Find out more about what "The Girls Room" is all about by visiting our website: www.gpd-foundation.org and click on "Our projects"
In Bangladesh:
We are planning our first trip to Bangladesh in February 2025 to visit schools in rural areas and distribute Feminine sanitary products to 200 girls.
