Code Red: Period Products For Young Women

Help me give my students period products to educate and guide young women through their menstruation and hygiene. Having products like maxi pads, tampons, panty liners, and books easily accessible to these girls will give them comfort.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Code Red: making menstruation products easily accessible to girls who may not have access to, or knowledge of them. By donating to my Period Product Project, you will help me offer guidance, education, and comfort to middle school and high school girls understand a topic that may be difficult and awkward to navigate.

In addition to maxi pads, tampons, and panty liners, the Code Red Project will also provide these girls with book titles that address periods in a fun yet informative way.

In an equity focused school, where 100% of students in our urban city receive free and reduced lunches, having these period products available in school will help alleviate some fear and difficulty. Your contribution will ultimately help them to increase their academic achievement by allowing them to focus on their school work and not on a basic need which is not being met.
