TO END PERIOD POVERTY AND EMPOWER WOMEN THROUGH AWARENESS
The MENstruation Foundation, is a nonprofit organisation that fights period poverty and gives women dignity. Girls in South Africa miss school and stay at home because of menstruation. The culture of silence around menstruation limits the ability of women and girls to equally participate in society. It undermines their social status and self-esteem. We give women the right to go to school, play sport, go to work and participate in life despite not being able to afford sanitary products.

What is our Vision
The MENstruation Foundation strives to create free access to sanitary pads for young woman during their menstrual cycle. Each schoolgirl receives one token that she can use at the Sanitary Pad Vending Machine to retrieve a pack of eight sanitary pads per month. Pads are locally manufactured and compostable.
