Hello Everyone, we are a team of students and medical professionals, many with Nepali roots, united by one powerful conviction: menstruation should be a source of strength, not shame. We are committed to reversing the narrative that has historically disunited women, starting in Nepal.
The Cost of Silence
Imagine a 14-year-old girl exiled to a cold, unsafe shed during her period, a dangerous tradition called "chaupadi." Even in cities, the stigma is crippling:
- 1 in 4 girls misses school every month, losing a quarter of her education.
- Over 50% of students feel "impure," eroding their dignity and self-worth.
This is a profound denial of a girl's basic safety, education, and future.
We want to begin with The Menstrual Corner, a safe, student-run hub where girls can access free reusable products made by local Nepali women, attend after-school workshops led by local Nepali medical volunteers, and step into leadership through a small student task force. This is the starting line for a new future: one where silence is replaced by knowledge, stigma by community, and exclusion by dignity. To make it possible, we are raising $3,000 by the end of this month: $2,550 for period kits and workshop supplies, $150 to support medical volunteers, and $300 for student leader stipends.
Every dollar will go into helping 300 students in Padma Kanya go to school with confidence, every day of the month.
