NGO on mission to eradicate period poverty across Trinidad and Tobago

Project You Foundation has just wrapped up its Pads of Hope II initiative, during which over 28,000 pads and other menstrual hygiene products were collected and distributed to various homes, shelters, orphanages, and major women's NGOs around the country. Among the recipients were women in The Shelter for Battered Women and Children, Helping Her Foundation and The Golden Grove Women’s Prison. Thousands more supplies were also sent to Grenada and St Vincent and the Grenadines in the wake of the devastation caused by Hurricane Beryl.
