The Pad Project Expands Menstrual Health Programs in Low-Income U.S. Communities
The Pad Project, a non-profit organization, is expanding its efforts to address period poverty in low-income communities across the United States. By partnering with schools, non-profits, and grassroots organizations, the project aims to provide access to menstrual products and education. The initiative supports the creation of sustainable business models for producing and distributing menstrual products, including disposable pads, washable pads, period underwear, and menstrual cups. In areas where markets are underdeveloped, the organization offers grants for free product distribution. The Pad Project also emphasizes culturally sensitive menstrual health education to empower communities and promote menstrual equity.
