"Menstrual health and hygiene is not only a human rights issue; it is an issue of human dignity, public health and economic development."
Christian Frutiger, Vice Director-General, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC)
“Give a girl a disposable pad, and you may improve her level of comfort for up to 4 hours. Give a girl the opportunity to walk into a marketplace, select her own period product of choice and quality, pay a reasonable price for it and walk out with dignity and security, and you’ve created a world where she may thrive.”
Wendy Anderson, Co-Founder, The Case for Her & SHF Board Member

Naomi Tulay-Solanke, Community Health & Gender Activist & SHF Board Member
