OUR IMPACT
Our goal is simply: access, education and dignity. Keep girls in school. Boost their confidence. Help them understand their own bodies. Give them the opportunity to change the world.
A period becomes a barrier when the basics are missing
Without safe products, accurate education and trusted support, menstruation can mean missed school, unsafe alternatives, shame and even lead to transactional sex for pads, child marriage, STIs and teen pregnancy. Those missed days compound, limiting learning, confidence and her future.
A cup is small, what it unlocks is not.
"Girls' performance has been significantly improved. Last year we had the best performance presented by girl students in the history of this school. And I want to tell you that we now have more girls in the dormitory than boys! You have created stability."
- Head Teacher, Pilkington College (Uganda)
Across our projects, an average of girls and women use their menstrual cup.
In Nakivale refugee settlement, women said they no longer felt shame when they menstruated after receiving a cup.
In Liberia, girls say the cup gives them more confidence.
than boys
In Uganda, school officials from the schools we work with say more girls than boys are now graduating.
In Nakivale refugee settlement, 94% of participants had been using unsafe or ineffective materials such as rags and cloth. After distribution, 92.4% use a menstrual cup and would recommend it to their friends.
Little Silicone Scholarships
We call them little silicone scholarships, because one cup can get a girl the whole way through her education and into university.
Stories of change
“They gave me the flowcup in 2020 and I’ve been using it for four years. I’ve got experience, it is very good. Before, my mother couldn’t always afford to pay my school fees or buy me sanitary pads. Now, we girls keep ourselves in school because of the flowcups. I’m comfortable with it, I’m really comfortable. God bless you.”
— Oweri Joanne, Uganda
