Anyone can donate! Donations will be used for menstrual health baskets for female international students at Bearden Middle, Northwest Middle, Austin-East High, and West High.

Menstrual Hygiene Day (MH Day) is a global advocacy platform that brings together nonprofits, government agencies, individuals, the private sector, and the media to promote good menstrual health and hygiene (MHH). According to WASH United, 500 million women and girls around the world don’t have what they need to manage their periods safely, hygienically, and without shame. This is due to a combination of lack of access to period products, lack of education about menstruation, and inadequate water and sanitation infrastructure.
