Bree Farmer hasn't added a story.
Pads for Empowerment is a fundraising event that I (Bree) have set up to try and help get cloth pads out to women and girls (mainly in the UK) who struggle to find the money for disposable menstrual products every month. I have run a couple of donation programs before, all dedicated to getting cloth pads out to girls in Africa, but it's only recently that I have become aware that there are people in my own country who struggle to afford basic sanitary care. That is why I have set up "Pads for Empowerment".
I am hoping to raise enough money to buy 500 pads which I will then split into individual kits. Each kit will contain 5 pads so in total that will be 100 kits to donate. 5 cloth pads is enough to get you through a whole cycle as long as you rinse out the pads each time you change them. These kits will hopefully allow the women and girls that receive them to feel empowered about the fact that they have more control over their monthly cycles, hence the name of the project.
I am aiming to raise £1000 (split between two fundrasing sites as some people wished to donate with PayPal which cant be done on the site I started this campaign with), this will cover the cost of:
- Bulk buying 500 pads
- Mailing envelopes for the kits
- Shipping for 75 kits to the UK
- Shipping for 25 kits internationally
