Support Our Mission to Make Menstrual Hygiene and Health Accessible for Everyone!
Global Hand Charity has partnered with the Women’s Centre of Sri Lanka, the Rotary Club of Badulla, the Affinity Foundation, Edith Cowan University through their Practera Program, and Emflower, an Australian brand of menstrual products, in support of creating a sustainable impact through projects that will empower and uplift students. Together we hope to address the critical issues surrounding period poverty and menstrual hygiene in rural parts of Sri Lanka. This fundamental human right often goes overlooked in third-world countries and students have to forgo their schooling during their period due to limited resources, inadequate menstruation education and stigmatised cultural censorship.
Creating a Sustainable Impact in Sri Lanka
Provide Reusable Menstrual Products
We are providing reusable menstruation and hygiene products to combat the issue of single-use plastic waste.
Visits With Healthcare Professionals
Students from rural communities will be invited for checkups from healthcare professionals at the Women’s Centre.
Health & Hygiene Education
Each student will receive an educational Menstrual Health Guide curated by ECU PRAC students.
Make A Difference
Your donation will allow the students to receive proper healthcare, education and hygiene resources to break the cycle of poverty.
Project Sri Lanka – Trip Information
The first project is scheduled in April 2024 in Sri Lanka. Volunteers from Global Hand Charity, Rotary, ECU and Emflower will aim to visit approximately 1100 students and young adults across 10 schools in rural communities.
