Red box project
Donation protected
Problem:
In the UK, some young women in our schools are finding it difficult to access sanitaryproducts.
Result:
Tearful panics in the loo. Wadded up toilet roll. Anxious embarrassment. Missed lessons.Missed education.
Solution:
Women from the community sponsor and stock a red box filled with sanitary products and spare pants. The Red Box will support disadvantaged young women throughout their entire period.
The box is kept at school with the Nurse, in reception or with an appropriate member of staff. Plain paper bags are included for discretion. Of course, our schools are already on the case and stock a limited supply of sanitary towels to cover emergencies, but what makes this project special is that we aim to ensure enough supplies to get her through her entire period.
