Help Us Break the Cycle of Period Poverty!
Support Our Mission to Make Menstrual Hygiene and Health Accessible for Everyone.
Emflower has partnered with Edith Cowan University, Global Hand Charity, and Rotary International District 3220 in support of providing menstruation resources and information to students in South East Asia, enabling them stay in school and continue their education.
Together we hope to address the critical issues surrounding period poverty and menstrual hygiene in rural parts of Sri Lanka. This fundamental human right often goes overlooked in third-world countries and students have to forgo their schooling during their menstrual cycle due to limited resources, and inadequate education with stigmatised cultural censorship around menstruation.
In April 2024, volunteers from Emflower and Global Hand Charity will be travelling to Sri Lanka to offer relief to school-aged students in the regional communities of Badulla.
Approximately 550 x students across 10 schools will receive a menstrual health kit including 2 x pairs of bamboo period underwear, an educational guide about menstruation and sanitation products.
The Menstrual Educational Guide was curated by ECU PRAC students through the Practera University Program as part of their Sustainable Impact initiative.
We are raising funds for several of the ECU PRAC students to come on the trip to Sri Lanka so they can witness the major impact their guide will have on these underprivileged students growing up in poverty-stricken communities.
