Working to

Eliminate         Period Poverty

People in communities across the United States are missing school and work simply because they can’t afford basic necessities to manage their periods.

Pads, tampons, and menstrual cups are not covered by benefit programs (like SNAP), and some families are forced to cut back on these critical health maintenance items or prioritize other, equally critical purchases.

ADVOCACY

GHGP pushes for policy, systems, and legal reforms to advance menstrual equity.

EDUCATION

We equip learners of all ages with the knowledge to understand their bodies and manage their periods safely.

We educate the public about period poverty and its profound effects on all aspects of life.

DISTRIBUTION

Our period product distribution program ensures individuals have the supplies they need to attend work, school, and fully participate in daily life.

At Girls Helping Girls. Period., we believe menstrual health leads to overall health. And human dignity.

We’re dedicated to educating people about the need, collecting/distributing products, and advocating for systemic change.

We supply products to food pantries, social services agencies, and community groups, and we offer workshops and consulting on sustainable, affordable menstrual management solutions to individuals, schools, and companies.
