One of the girls told us that before receiving the Sylvia’s Sisters kit, she often stayed home from school during her period because she couldn’t afford disposable pads. Missing classes meant falling behind in her studies, and it was a constant source of stress.

I have a small group of underserved students that have difficulty getting period products and depend on receiving them for free at school…The look on my students’ faces when I tell them that we have everything they need is true relief.

Period supplies are school supplies. Your generosity keeps girls in class with dignity.
Without question, Sylvia’s Sisters has been one of the most impactful community partner relationships I’ve been able to establish this year.
