Teams work to end the stigma associated with menstruation. Their efforts include fundraising, sewing and donating DfG Kits, increasing access to menstrual health education, awareness raising, and advocacy. Teams have the opportunity to progress to being a Chapter if that is their goal, after meeting certain benchmarks. Click here to learn more about How Teams Work
Turning periods into pathways is more than washable pads and education. It's about elevating locally-led solutions in as many of the places we serve as possible.

How do we balance BOTH programs in a hybrid of global service?
It's not easy. But it's important.
We use the DfG IMPACT ZONES.
