My Project

We have surprisingly recently discovered many girls come to school not prepared for changes in their body as they enter puberty. We would like to help them through this sometimes traumatic experience with what they need should this life change happen while at school.

Special undergarments, pads, and emergency kits to give them a feeling of security in a time when the changes in their bodies make big changes in their self-esteem as well as journals to express their feelings.

We are hoping to have just what they need to feel comfortable and confident.
