Periods are normal, but #periodpoverty is a real problem. For girls around the world, especially those facing financial challenges, periods can be a source of shame, exclusion, and missed opportunities. This is called period poverty, and it's something we can all work together to end. When people use unsafe methods during their period, it can lead to health concerns and decreased participation in daily activities. This can be especially damaging for young girls, who may miss school due to period poverty, hindering their education and #future prospects. We can stop period poverty together by providing to these girls the necessary period products and supplies. for more information about our project email support@twambechildreninitiative.org https://lnkd.in/dKRcDJAi #periodpoverty #donors #donate #freepads.#sanitaryware

Hygiene poverty is not discussed enough despite affecting countless families across the UK. Three in five (62%) of those experiencing hygiene poverty with dependent children said that they have had to choose between buying hygiene products for themselves or their child(ren). We support local young people by providing Hygiene Packs. Contact us to discuss how you could support our projects by becoming a REACH Partner. Follow the link in our bio to find out more.

Join us while we #BoyleItDown: Our ID Services program ensures access to essential services. Beyond just providing IDs, the program builds relationships, aids in obtaining necessary documents, and offers secure storage. Our partnership with Indigenous Services Canada not only allows our ID Services program to assist with application for or renewal of Secure Certificate of Indian Status (SCIS) cards, but we also can assist in liaising with the ISC Alberta Regional Office for the purpose of registration. Bob Frohlich is our tireless and empathetic ID Services Coordinator, and his work is integral to helping our clients break the cycle of poverty. Content warning: This story contains references to domestic violence/abuse. This is something we see too much of but shows the importance of wrap-around support that people need: “As Kathy (name changed) approached the ID Services wicket, her face was noticeably swollen beneath her mask. Both eyes were blackened. I have seen this scenario too many times. Tears welled up in her eyes as I asked, "I am so sorry this happened to you. You didn't deserve this. Are you safe?" She gently nodded and asked quietly with her head hung down if I could help her obtain her ID. The (ex) abusive partner had cut her ID. We were quickly able to renew her photo ID, and weeks later she came in looking better, less fragile. She had found safe housing and had the courage to charge her abuser who was now incarcerated. Her healing journey continues today.” Our ID Services program is just one of the many initiatives you can help support when you get involved with our work.
