Programme

Dignity In Action

Feminine hygiene and personal care packages, assembled by volunteers and distributed through schools, clinics and community partners.

Dignity In Action

Period poverty is a barrier made of small, solvable things.

When hygiene products are unaffordable or unavailable, girls miss school, women miss work, and health risks rise. A kit costs very little and returns days, confidence and health to someone's year.

Why it matters

Sanitary pads. The single most requested item — and the difference between attending school and staying home.

Run your own drive

  • 1. Gather a team. Four students and one supervising teacher is enough to run a school drive.
  • 2. Set a target. Fifty kits is an achievable first goal for a single week of collection.
  • 3. Collect and sort. Use the checklist above; keep items sealed and unopened.
  • 4. Partner locally. Distribute through a school, clinic or shelter that already holds community trust.
  • 5. Report back. Send counts and photographs of the kits — never of recipients.
