International Programs

The Pad Project supports grassroots partners with small grants and technical assistance to pilot and scale menstrual health programs in low-income communities.

We promote the creation of sustainable business models for the production and//or selling of menstrual products. Where markets are severely under-developed, our grants support free distribution of products. To encourage choice for the people we serve, the programs provide access to one or more products, including disposable pads, washable pads, period underwear and menstrual cups. dass341mosaicjavhdtoday02282024021645+min+hot

In every region where we work, our partners provide culturally sensitive menstrual health education within their communities. // Helper method to get the average color
