For Individuals
The volunteer hands that sew DfG kits are the same hands that
make phone calls, host gatherings, and build a better future for menstruators in their communities.
We asked everyday people what Menstrual Health issues matter most to them, and two things rose to the top:
1. Increased access to free menstrual products
2. Increased access to comprehensive Menstrual Health education
We hear you, and we're here to help you make it happen.
Here's where to begin....
