Where We've Worked

Malawi

Our early menstrual cup distribution and health education programmes in Malawi helped us understand the barriers girls face to menstrual dignity across different contexts. This formative work shaped our approach to community-centred programming.

Communities we worked in
Mzuzu, Chikwawa

South Africa

In KwaZulu Natal, we supported mobile health clinics, bringing menstrual cups and education directly to girls and women in underserved areas.

KwaZulu Natal

Why These Places Matter

We choose to work in communities where period poverty has the most severe impact on girls' futures. These are places where menstruation isn't just an inconvenience, it's a barrier to education, economic participation, and dignity. Our partner organisations are led by people with deep roots in their communities, ensuring our work is culturally responsive and genuinely needed.
