A period pack can help a street child manage their period safely and with dignity
This gift helps us make first contact with street children
For the young women and girls Toybox supports, lack of access to sanitary supplies is more than just an inconvenience – it can be psychologically distressing and even dangerous to health.
Many young people on the streets have no choice but to use whatever they can get hold of to manage their periods. Many rely on rags in place of period products during menstruation – putting them at serious risk of infection and disease. Those who live or work on the streets often lack access to clean water and safe toilets, further increasing this risk.
When you buy a period pack containing period products and a mini hygiene kit, you’ll help a child manage their period safely and with dignity.
This gift helps us make first contact with street children
Distributing period packs allows us to make first contact with children who need our help but might not feel brave enough to approach us. This work also helps raise awareness about menstrual hygiene in communities, helping to combat the taboos that exist around the subject of periods.
