TACKLING PERIOD POVERTY
What We Do
Hi! We're a group of college students that were recently educated on period poverty, and want to make a change. You can find the information on how we're doing this below.
There's plenty of charities battling the issue of period poverty. And they're doing a great job. We just want more people to know that. So we've worked with some of these charities to create a documentary that properly represents the work they're doing, and this website has the same aim. If you'd like to know more about period poverty, this is the place to be.
