My Project
We are dedicated to providing feminine care products for 4th and 5th-grade students, addressing a critical and often overlooked need in schools. At this age, many girls begin their menstrual cycles, a natural but sometimes challenging transition. Without access to necessary feminine care products, these young students may face embarrassment, discomfort, and a lack of understanding about their changing bodies. This can lead to missed school days, decreased participation in physical activities, and a decline in academic performance. By ensuring a steady supply of these essential items, schools can create a supportive and inclusive environment where every student feels cared for and can focus on their education.
Moreover, this project goes beyond just providing physical resources: it plays a vital role in normalizing conversations around menstrual health.
When a community comes together to support the availability of feminine hygiene products in schools, it sends a powerful message to young girls that their needs are important and valid. This initiative can also be accompanied by educational programs that demystify menstruation, thereby reducing stigma and fostering a culture of empathy and understanding among all students. Ultimately, the fundraiser not only meets immediate physical needs but also contributes to a healthier, more informed, and empathetic school environment for 4th and 5th graders.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
