JENESIS MENARCHE BAGS

Introducing JP Cares New 2025 Upcoming Program

Empowering and Supporting Young Girls

According to the World Bank, around 500 million women and girls worldwide lack access to menstrual products and menstrual hygiene facilities. This is known as period poverty.

  • Period poverty is when financial circumstances or inadequate education make it difficult to access menstrual hygiene products.
  • It can affect a person's ability to leave their home, go to school, or feel comfortable managing their period.
  • Period poverty can also lead to anxiety and depression.
