Period Supply Kits: Empowering Women and Girls Through Essential Sanitation
At Othercare, we are dedicated to providing vital support to women and girls experiencing period poverty through our Period Supply Kits. These kits are designed to help bridge the gap for those who lack access to basic menstrual care products—a challenge that impacts far more people than many realize. Each kit includes a carefully chosen mix of day and night pads, tampons, and hygiene wipes to provide comfort and dignity.
Why Period Supply Kits?
Without a consistent supply of feminine hygiene products, many women and girls face barriers to education and work, leading to missed school days, missed university classes, absences from work, and significant interruptions in their daily lives. When access to these essentials is limited, opportunities for personal and professional growth are compromised. In response, Othercare has committed to distributing Period Supply Kits throughout Texas and across the USA, helping women and girls stay connected in their communities.
Our Impact and Partnerships
Othercare collaborates with a variety of charitable organizations, community health clinics, educational institutions and other community partners to reach those in need. We also engage with outreach programs, partnering with sororities and university channels, to connect with students who are most in need of our period poverty kits, ensuring they have access to essential products for uninterrupted education. Through these partnerships, we aim to ensure that every kit reaches the hands of someone who needs it. We’re here to promote gender equity, helping each person stay on track to achieve their goals without the barrier of period poverty.
How You Can Support
Through our "Buy One, Donate One" program, individuals can directly support our mission. With each purchase of an Othercare product, you have the option to donate a Period Supply Kit to someone in need. Additionally, supporters can contribute by making a one-time financial donation or setting up a monthly subscription to fund these essential packs year-round.
At Othercare, we believe that no one should have to miss school, work, or other opportunities because of lack of access to basic sanitation. By helping others access these essentials, we’re creating a pathway for continued education, employment, and empowerment for women everywhere. By joining this initiative, you’re directly helping women stay focused on their futures, free from the challenges of period poverty.
