THE COVA PROJECT
Access • Education • Dignity
What We Do
The Cova Project provides menstrual cups and menstrual health education to girls and women in developing communities around the world. We aim to bridge the school attendance gap, caused by period poverty. We create and distribute educational materials, with accurate visual representation of the girls, to build confidence as they strengthen their knowledge around personal health and development.
Our goal is simply: access, education and dignity. Keep girls in school. Empower them. Help them to learn and understand their own bodies. Give them the opportunity to change the world.
To date we have provide this many menstrual cups & education

Hear From The Girls Themselves…
Let participants of The Cova Project tell you about their experience using the cup and how it has changed their lives
Why We Do It
"The global burden of menstruation is much greater than most of us realise. It effects girls at a critical time in their lives, impacting their education and self-confidence. Girls in developing communities often drop out of school entirely because they are unequipped to manage menstruation. Not receiving a full education commonly leads to a diminished feeling of self worth and entering into marriage and motherhood at a younger age. The ripple effect is huge. We know that educating girls is good for developing economies and improving socio economic growth. We know that educated women are more likely to enter political discussions and that having women in government reduces corruption. These cups are tools that we provide to keep girls in school and reduce absenteeism. We’ve seen the instant improvement in confidence from girls who now feel confident attending school without facing monthly humiliation. We know it works.
