Have you heard about one of our dearest collaborations?
Last year we met Sophie Maliphant in a menstrual empowerment course. She started her own nonprofit called The Country That Shook after being in Nepal during the 2015 earthquake. We connected instantly (for obvious reasons!)
This wonderful resource is a unique storybook about the magic of menstruation. The book explores anatomy, cyclical education and support between women. It’s being created to change the stigma and to help young girls develop self confidence. It’s all done in a visually creative way and was drawn by Nepalese women themselves!

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY - March 8, 2021
International Women's Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day marks a call to action for accelerating women's equality.
This year’s theme was #ChooseToChallenge.
We had a lot of support flow in from around the globe, from our ambassador, Jessica, in New Zealand to our corporate partner Saalt in Idaho who donated all March 8th sales from their website to our programs.
How will you help forge a gender equal world everyday?
Celebrate women's achievement.
Raise awareness against bias.
