The Pachamama Project is a non profit community interest company growing a network of volunteers around the UK to make reusable sanitary pads for refugees. Period poverty is an international crisis where many cannot access safe sanitary products and often resort to using tissue, rags or even socks during their periods. This can make daily activities like going to school or work extremely difficult. Period poverty is particularly prevalent amongst refugees and with so many challenges already, the project aims to make sure having a period is not yet another.
The Pachamama Project aims to reach refugees all over the world and is currently distributing the Pacha Pads to refugees in Greece and Lebanon, in Lesbos, Beirut and the Bekaa Valley.
