Puberty Kits 101

Help me give my students Kotex pads to support their entry into the land of Puberty!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Atkins's classroom raised $1,272

This project is fully funded

My Project

Puberty is challenging for young people. It is even harder when you don't have the necessary feminine hygiene supplies at home to help you when you get your monthly cycle.

The feminine pads and flushable wipes will be used to make kits that girls can use at school when they have their period.

These starter kits will make it easier for my students to be prepared for their periods and also to know what supplies you need to have with you each month so that you are not caught off guard. I want to help make my students feel as if the natural changes to their bodies are something they can accept and be ready for.
