It doesn’t stop me at any way but I know that some people are afraid/ashamed to talk about it.

The Pad Project develops partnerships with schools, non-profits, and grassroots organizations to address period poverty in the U.S.
Through our U.S. Programs, we stand as the first believer in changemakers, providing grants to organizations in need of menstrual care products. Our commitment is to uplift communities and locally led initiatives by increasing access to menstrual products and resources. In doing so, our hope is to close opportunity gaps connected to period poverty across the country.
The Pad Project supports grassroots partners with small grants and technical assistance to pilot and scale menstrual health programs in low-income communities.
We promote the creation of sustainable business models for the production and//or selling of menstrual products. Where markets are severely under-developed, our grants support free distribution of products. To encourage choice for the people we serve, the programs provide access to one or more products, including disposable pads, washable pads, period underwear and menstrual cups.
In every region where we work, our partners provide culturally sensitive menstrual health education within their communities.
