This Refugee Week…
Don’t let her period feel pants.
UPDATE: YOU DID IT! YOU GUYS BOUGHT 1,300 REUSABLE PERIOD PANTS AND PADS, ENOUGH SO EVERY WOMAN AND GIRL IN SAMOS REFUGEE CAMP IS NO LONGER IN PERIOD POVERTY! SEE PHOTOS ON OUR INSTAGRAM AND FACEBOOK! You can still buy reusable products from this page - there will always be refugee ladies on the move, in need!
Our mission this Refugee Week is to completely solve period poverty in Samos Refugee Camp in Greece for every woman. At present there are over 650 women in the camp of menstruating age who often have to spend days in isolation, bleeding alone, because they simply can’t access the products they need. Sometimes they find spare rags in a panic - that definitely don’t ‘do the job’. We need to provide 1300 period pants to give each woman two pairs. Gladly, this problem is solvable. WOO-HOO!
*We can see the number of girls within families arriving from Afghanistan is increasing so any new arrivals will still benefit from receiving packs of one-use period pads.
