Why we exist

Period poverty is a daily barrier for millions

500 million

women and girls worldwide lack access to adequate period care every month.

Our work

How our programs work

Girls receiving period care products at a community distribution
~60% of program spending

Reusable menstrual care, donated

Menstrual cups, discs, and period underwear go to women and girls experiencing period poverty, distributed through vetted nonprofit and community partners. Reusables are the sustainable answer: one product lasts for years and ends the recurring cost of disposables.

All four programs

100%

to programs and products

Every dollar you give goes to the work. All of it.

Our founding partner, Saalt, pays for all administrative expenses — staffing, operations, overhead, everything. That means 100% of public donations fund period care products, education, clean water, and scholarships for women and girls.

Saalt Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) public charity governed by its own board of directors.
