Period poverty is one of the #1 issues affecting women around the world today. We want to help put an end to that. So today, the Monsoon Accessorize Trust is funding our partner Jeevika to support the health of more than 5000 women in India.
One third of all the world’s poor live in India – and in the poverty-blighted villages, women are the poorest. Jeevika help give women in rural India access to menstrual hygiene products and end the stigma around periods.
Proper access to sanitary products means more girls can stay in school, which generates better opportunities and gender equality for all.
Our donation will provide…
Eco-disposable sanitary products for women & girls
Reproductive-health education in local villages
Training in the production of sanitary napkins – supporting a sustainable income for women in the community (and access to hygiene products)
